Awesome thanks for the link! Dang! Those Sabals are huge! I wonder if any of those would fit in the back of my dad's Toyota Highlander? D:

Wow Jim..nice palm garden! And TerdalFarm, is the Dallas Farmer's Market still downtown, or has it moved?

Hello all:) I recently bought a Butia capitata (pindo) that is about four feet tall. For winter protection, I am planning on tying the fronds up and covering with a temporary greenhouse like structure. I was wondering if anyone else has grown these this far north/inland...I am located just outside W...

I have mine set up on tray tables in front of the dining room window, they get a little sunlight that way in the evenings...I have high hopes for these guys around here...I also have a 5 foot pindo and 4 foot Trachy, but I don't have as high of hopes for them, even with protection...

Haha alright thanks for the reply:P I was just concerned about rotting, but so far, these guys are happy:)

Hello all:) I recently bought a couple Sabal Minor "McCurtain" from Bryan at Alligator Alley in OKC...I was told to place the pots in shallow pans of water, and always keep the pans full...however, one of the palms' roots is growing out of the holes in the bottom of its pot, and I'm wonder...

That's a very good question, I meant to ask but completely forgot! Maybe someone who knows bamboo better than myself can shed some light on this?

Thanks for the replies! I am looking for a SE United States look with my gardens, similar to what one would see around New Orleans or Mobile...we already have crepe myrtles growing around the house, as well as honeysuckle...

Wow!! That's a good price! If I end up deciding if I want a pindo, I'll let you know! Thanks for the link!

Wow!! Very nice looking!! I'm hoping I can get one to fruit here, I know of a guy who has two that fruit yearly in Michigan, so hopefully I can make it happen here...anyway, how much $ for your pindos?

Hello all:)) I searched the forums, but haven't found any real examples of how to landscape with cold hardy palms...I am looking for a way to landscape in zone 6B/7A using my windmills, Sabal minors and a Pindo or two...if anyone has any ideas or photos, please share them. Thanks!!

Haha! Loved the video! Nothing wrong with being crazy about palms! Do you know how tall they have to be before they fruit? I'd really like to be able to grow a fruiting pindo, as I hear the fruit is quite tasty! I drove to Dallas to buy my Trachy, so I'd be more than happy to go back for a Pindo! It...

Hello, I was wondering where I can buy a pindo palm (preferably in Texas, so I can drive and pick it up)...I would like one that is old enough to fruit, how old and how large do they have to be to fruit? And will they fruit in zone 6? For winter protection, I would tie up fronds and build a small gr...

Here's some pictures of his Trachy, I didn't get any pictures of his outdoor Minors:/ However, when my young Minors pop open, I will definitely post pics:))

I was examining my Trachy that I am intending to plant this spring, and I smelled a very strong cat urine smell, and all the dirt around my palm was SOAKED with cat urine...I have since put all the cats outside, but what can I do to save my palm, or is it too late? I'm going to be pretty ticked if m...

He protected the trachy with heat tape and what looked like plastic-covered fiberglass insulation...I can post a picture later...it looked amazing though!

That's a nice looking Lou ya got there!! Bryan didn't have any Louisianas that were small enough to fit in my car, so I settled for a couple S. Minor McCurtain;) I do, however, plan on returning with a pickup truck this spring;) I didn't ask if he had any yucca, he told me he has not updated the web...

I agree!! I'm going to Oklahoma City to buy a couple Sabal louisiana tomorrow:)) The things we do for palms:)

I just thought I'd thank you all! This community has really raised my optimism about growing these plants that my family and friends are telling me are impossible to grow here...hopefully I'll show them!!

Thanks! I'll remember that...OKC is about a 2-2.5 hour drive for me, so I'll definitely have to keep that in mind!!

I bought this windmill about two weeks ago from North Texas Palms & Pottery in McKinney, TX. I was very happy with my purchase and will definitely be back again. (Yes, I drove 5 hours from El Dorado, KS just to buy a palm tree:) ) Anyway, I have watered it as needed, hopefully not too much or to...

KrisK, can't see your picture, but as there are not many palms in Wichita, I imagine you have the correct location;) Update on my Trachy, I moved it back outside today, however, we had a good 20 mph wind from the north (left in the picture) and it seemed to cause some drooping...will winds harm this...

It got up to 70F today, so I placed my potted Trachy out where I'm wanting to plant it this spring, I was wondering, however, if it is alright to mulch around base of the tree, or would this encourage fungal growth and rot?

Thanks for the tips, everyone! Feeling more optimistic!! I think I'll stick to Trachys and S Minor, and yes, I have seen the Sabals at the church in Wichita, for those that know the area, it is right west of the I-135/Kellogg Freeway interchange in downtown. The palms are visible from the highway.

Hello:) I am new to this forum, I live right outside Wichita, Kansas (zone 6b, very near zone 7) and I was wondering if anyone here has had any luck growing a Trachy or Pindo in zone 6...obviously, they would need winter protection, but is this even possible? I currently own a 4-5 foot tall Windmill...
