Hello everyone. I have some Yuccas I can trade out... Yucca thompsoniana (3 yr old), yucca glauca (3yr old and a couple 3 yr rooted cuttings of trunking version), a couple yucca brevifolia (3 yr old), yucca elata (2 yr old), a few sabal louisiana and pindo palms (1.5 yr old). What I am looking for: ...

Sweet. Good job Mike. Friday. Yeah, not Thursday. That's me losing track of my days. Good for you Mike. P.S. My grapefruit tree is doing great. You mentioned orange or lemon trees. My grapefruit tree has been planted outside for 4 years now, as well as my pomegranate tree. I do protect them with a h...

I just watched cbc news montreal streaming online.
Yeah, nothing just the news, no story today on coconut Mike
Unless... I missed something?

seedscanada

nothing wrong with giving them to friends or just leaving them
if giving them away though, let them grow until agust to cut them from the mother plant to establish roots

seedscanada

yeah, had it protected all round in glass and a thermocube actuated bulb for heat.

seedscanada

That is like a 3 foot high sago, looked much like yours before I did that to it!

seedscanada

As a test I overwintered one of mine... kept cool and dry... but mostly between 35 and 45 f. This is whatit looks like now: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/seedscanada/7207189460/" title="IMG-20120329-00587 by seedscanada, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr...

Sunburn for sure. My musas and ensettes get it, lose a few leaves until more grow when outside.
Even my travellers palm gets it when first brought out each year.

Tim, on the Loquat there were no branches to begin with. It went in the ground at ten months old. Many of the leaves blew off once I removed the wind protection in March.

I think our largest, from Grimo, is a Brown Turkey Fig. We have two others I completely neglect.

Gonna say they got too dry. Hope they come back to health soon.
Are they in pots, in the ground?

seedscanada

I trench and bury our largest fig tree. When timed right, and carefully unburied, I have had figs in June and a second crop in September. That does not happen to the figs I leave exposed (only Sept.) I've had a double crop for the past four years.

seedscanada

My pawpaw seeds appear not to have germinated... but upon further inspection at least one has sent down a taproot. Soon we shall see top growth.
I think we have 40 this year.

seedscanada

In What part of Ontario do you reside?
Maybe it was protected for too long? Mine have been uncovered for nearly two months.
What protection measures did you have in place? Maybe some pictures of how you protected?

seedscanada

Thanks!
P bambusoides has never been protected. Two winters now outdoors.
All I do is put about 3 inches of mulch over the area by around last frost.

Here are some pics of new growth in our gardens: Asimina triloba first blooms opening and first leaves emerging <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/seedscanada/7162642842/" title="IMG-20120425-00635 by seedscanada, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7091/71...

My son Isaac and I went to Rice Road Greenhouses this afternoon... this is what we saw: Trachycarpus fortunei <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/seedscanada/7162517762/" title="Welland-20120508-00676 by seedscanada, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7240/...

seedscanada

Don't know where that is at but at rice road ghs they overwintered in their greenhouses a couple of customers' 20-odd foot tall Washingtonia robustas,. They were too tall and had to be diagonally kept in the gh. You see the tops: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/seedscanada/7162402712/&quo...

Tim, can you show us pictures of the different 'filata' parent plants... there were at least two different seeds.. Big Mama and another one too.
How are these seed source plants looking in their prime? Pics please with the names you've given 'em.
Cheers! nd tthanks
Adam

I guess thats not JR. I know that some really excellent palms and yuccas are now at Rice road greenhouses. Worth checking out in fonthill.

ADAM

seedscanada

Booooo. No one wants to see those temperatures.
Adam

seedscanada

Yep I wanna see the D macropodum. My Bets were against that one. And I need one here. Most wanted list 3years.straight.
Adam

seedscanada

Yeah, haven't had any luck with those indoors.
Adam

seedscanada

Branches with buds are fine. You are right. But for now I would do nothing about it, you would not want to cut off something that is possibly going to grow.
Adam

seedscanada

That is really cool
We will have to see what it looks like for the arrival of this years first hurricane
Adam

seedscanada

How did that one end up doing? I killed my beauty rigida two winters ago and my cat ate nearly all of its offset I have still potted. Any tips?
Adam

seedscanada

Kind of neat
I signed up
Adam

seedscanada

Yeah, Canadianplant.. like that. Would that maybe kill the 2012 early flowering fruit harvest (like cherries) or maybe even kill established trees due to stress??
Hope all your plants make it alright.

Silly tablet sorry bout the double post

seedscanada

I always ask myself, "but what if" and I want to ask you all what you think. What if a week of sub-freezing temperatures were to come our way in, maybe the first week of april? You know, after all new leaves and flower buds have flushed out? I know I'm being the devils advocate, but I'm no...

That's so sad
