Hey Barb , yes I am still here. The seedlings sound great. Also I will take pics tomorrow of the mystery palm and other plants. thanks
Keith

Thanks for the replies. The banana seems to do well facing east under the overhang. So I might trim a couple pups off later. Also yes Barb I am interested in seedlings. give me a shout when you are ready.
thanks

Hello this is the second year of my musa basjoo banana. It survived the winter in zone 5b. It is the end of may 2012 and the banana is about 4 ft high doing good. It also has 4 pups of various sizes, was wondering if I should cut some or all of the pups off the main plant? It is looking a little cro...

I can believe a european fan palm. on the other post they thought it was a Livistona chinensis or chinese fan palm but it does not have droopy fronds.thanks barb.

Good morning. Barb I told you I would post pictures. the first 2 are the palm I pruned. As you can see there is pups coming up from the side. If anyone can help Id this palm would be great. The next picture is my musa basjoo coming back strong. The fourth picture is my new windmill palm I picked up ...

Hey Barb , I went ahead and pruned most of the dead branches off. I will take a picture in morning and post it. It looks good but I am still unsure what type of palm it is. It has pups coming up on the sides, the fronds are straight not curled. I know windmill does not have pups. Maybe mediterrean f...

Thanks palmnut, that is kinda what I had read, thanks for explaining why you do it that way.

Thanks Bryce.

Hello, I was wondering about pruning the dead or half dead fronds that were damaged over winter on my palm tree. Is it a good idea or will it hurt the tree. new growth in center looks nice and green. Have attached a couple of pics. thanks. Keith http://s19.postimage.org/s1nldrmin/DSCN0882.jpg http:/...

I could only wish for frost damage like that . lol. Mine is also perking up this spring thanks to heat tape last winter in zone 5b.

Hey Adam and Barb I found a picture of my palm from last summer. Check it out and let me know what you think. I did not notice droppy leaves. It is a better picture than the one from this spring.

Yes

Hi Barb. I was looking at photos of Livistona chinensis and they are saying the leaves curl at the end. this one is normally all straight, just right now a few are drooping from overwintering. Yes and I bought it at home depot, was looking to see if tag was still there.
Keith

Adam is my palm not a windmill palm? you were saying something about Livistona chinensis?
Thanks
Keith

I thought I was the only person crazy enough to grow palms and other tropicals in Vernon. I pulled on the bottom of the plant it seems very solid. What type of plants you got growing. The only two tropicals that I have outside are the windmill palm and a musa basjoo banana, which I may uncover today...

Unwrapped my windmill palm on Wednesday. I used heat tape, then burlap, and finally shrink wrap.I am in zone 5a or b. It looks brown in spots and green in others. I looks green on the newer growth at bottom. Wonder if I should spray with fungacide or not. Here is the pictures. http://s19.postimage.o...
