The pic of what is thought of to be a Trachy looks to me to be mature Chinese fan palm with a trunk. Teebee did you get any seeds? Great pics.

Aaron I`ll be in Cabo Mexico end of Nov. I`ll be bringing W. filifera and other palm seeds back. If you or anybody else want some just pm me your address.

John

Aaron Washy`s are my favorite palm. Great post.

John

Barb maybe they are both W. filfera. I thought one was a W. filibusta. I`ve noticed the trunks are diferent colours when the are young. The filifera is a dull orange colour while the robusta trunk is a brighter reddish colour. The fronds are a deeper green on robusta and duller olive color on filife...

Okanagan desert-palms

Barb everything is looking great.

Those Washy`s are sure starting to take off. Are you noticing any difference between the two of them now? W.filifera vs W.filibusta.

Beny that is a really great looking Trachy. Nice stiff fronds on it. How much did you pay for that palm? That palm in Vancouver would easily be $700.00 and up.

Okanagan desert-palms

Thanks Cam. I`ve seen the good work you are doing with palms as well. Canadian it is a date palm. It will be haet tape protected this winter. Mike thanks for your comment. I only wish I could have access to the palms you guys on the eastern side of our country are able to buy. More palms to plant so...

Okanagan desert-palms

Hi Scott long time no talk. I keep it in my garage that has a 12 ft. ceiling. Just barely enough. Soon I will be putting it on it`s side soon to over winter. Still got the palm bug here

John

Barb nice to see your planted stuff doing so well. Pretty much a breeze so far this winter

Jesse that is some serious fricken cold! Here is another Canadian city trying to win the coldest temps trophy!!!! :cry: :cry: . http://www.castanet.net/weather/Saskatoon Holy Crap!!!!!! :shock: Barb we are lucky we live in the wine belt. I don`t think I could do any colder than here. http://www.wine...

Cold in CANADA BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. British Columbia is the warmest part of CANADA. It is the only place in Canada where palm trees grow year round!! You already knew that right? http://www.oakbayvillage.ca/activities/palmtrees.html http://dreadedfist.hubpages.com/hub/palm-trees-in-canada http://www.y...

Barb thanks for the visit and the palm tree + palmagranate seedling you gave me. One day earlier and all of my palms were still out. PS. Your camera takes much better pics than mine.

John

Okanagan desert-palms

Barb I hope it makes it. IMO you have meally bugs. I`ve had them so many times I`m sure you have them as well from your pics. Give it some root booster and some b12 to lessen the shock of up pulling it out of the pot when you repot it.

John

Okanagan desert-palms

Barb your palm has gone past the SCL. Sleep Creep Leap stage and is on its way to the second floor and off to the roof next

. Nice to see it doing so well after so many years in a pot. How are the Washy`s doing ?

John

Okanagan desert-palms

Kent that`s great you got them to survive with only mulch. -18c 0f is pretty darn cold especially for the Chinese fan palm. Are you still just using mulch now they are that much bigger? I`m going to give a Chinese fan palm a try in the ground next spring after seeing what you`ve been able to do. John

Great buys Andy. Who knew Germany was such a hotbed for Yuccas. I only wish were able to get those plants here being closer to the source of the natural grown ones from California and Arizona.

John

Okanagan desert-palms

My 2 cents. Put a sealed sturdy plastic enclosure over it. Keep it dry. Mulch. Keep some extra heating inside in case it gets really cold 0f -18c (You never know). Give the crown a treatment of copper fungiside before the cold hits. I have lost a couple of 3 gal needles until I gave my recent plante...

Okanagan desert-palms

We still haven`t got our first frost here yet. Bananas still in the ground and green. Now I`ve jinxed it. Damn fricken cold is going to be back soon

Robocaesar. The basjoos in the 4th photo are huge . The photo was taken near my Grandma`s house in South Vancouver. They probably got fried in Dec. that year. I`m sure Jubea`s would need protection in an 8b being a smaller size for quite a few years until the trunk is large enough to sustain itself ...

Okanagan desert-palms

Vancouver 8b palm trees inspired me to grow them here in Kelowna 6b. http://okanaganpalms.multiply.com/photos/album/1/Vancouver_palms_Oct_15th_2008#photo=15 http://okanaganpalms.multiply.com/photos/album/1/Vancouver_palms_Oct_15th_2008##photo=6 http://okanaganpalms.multiply.com/photos/album/1/Vancou...

All pro. Looks great.

Barb I put 8" of mulch on the ground around the filifera. I like your idea of having the lights on the ground. It could be serious fire hazard with dry leaf mulch though.

John

Okanagan desert-palms

Very cool Tim. I always like to see how well your yuccas are doing.

Five people have already stopped me asked if I`m the guy selling the plastic palms people sell here in the city LOL :D We should have some new recruits soon after I explained to them that we grow real live palms,yuccas...

Barb with the fiberglass insulation I took about half of the 6" thickness and wound that on the trunk first then wrapped the C 9 lights and then finished with another wrap over the lights. I also wrapped the fronds with the fiberglass when it got cold in Jan.

Scott I ordered some of this product just for the fact I`m sick of using chemical systemic prevention. IMO pay a little more and have a green alternative. http://organicinsecticide.info/
