Here is pic of my Needle Palm I got from Jungle Music. This will be it's 2nd winter in the ground and although I have a 6ft section of plumbing heat tape around the root ball, the only other protection it gets is that 1/2 barrel and the plexiglass top to keep snow off of it. It has no supplemental ...

It's crazy because when I noticed the leaf discoloration we had only had a low of 17 F (zone 8b). It makes me wonder how these can even be grown in northern florida. I suppose they probably don't get that cold in Tallahassee in October though. Do you think protecting them from moisture before an ear...

needle palm question
Is it possible that my needle palm got bud rot already? The newer leaves have a yellowish color to them. I'm wondering if water got in the crown and froze. Can't post pics now but can later if necessary.

Should I leave my Y. elata covered in leaves?
With all the wind that blew through today, alot of leaves got stuck in my yucca elata. I can't decide if this would increase or decrease its chance of survival. On the one hand, leaves insulate. On the other hand, it could trap moisture in the crown. Anyone know if it would be better to leave them o...

cold hardy cacti in cold and wet environment
Does anyone know if barrel cacti and forms of echinocereus will survive unprotected in a cold wet environment (like zone 5b or 6a)? I know some cholla and many prickly pears will survive. Any one ever tried in these zones? I cover my claret cup and small barrel cacti but I'm thinking about uncoverin...

Well, it looks like my yucca elata got spear pull. :x Now the only thing I'm wondering is why. We've had a really cool summer. Most days it didn't get above 85. I planted it in the spring and it rained alot for the first couple of weeks. But as I understood it, yucca elatas are pretty tolerant of we...

Yucca elata problem?
The last week or so I noticed a change in my yucca elata. It's spear seemed to open up a little and I noticed the newer growth was a lighter color. Today I noticed that the spear is a tanish color like the color of palm leaves when they dry up and die. I'm assuming the spear is dead but I just wante...

Awesome! Does your papaya sit in a pot? I've heard this plant doesn't like transplantation, does it? I think you heard right. This one looked bad last year when I put it in a bigger pot. We planted it this year and it took awhile for it to start growing again. It needed way too much sunlight in the...

papaya and other plant pics
It looks like we may have some home grown papaya this year if it hurries up and grows before it freezes here. starting to bloom <a href="http://s1250.photobucket.com/user/Springpatch77/media/Papaya3_zps5f7867af.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1250.photobucket.com...
