Wow didnt know that! Well I guess its too late. The guy has good feedback and assured me they would get to me. Oh well I guess I will have to wait and see.

macario

Well I was very lucky to have just found 2 of these that are supposed to have 3" + caudex each. The description said starting tree form. I was hoping someone could give me first hand info on how to grow these. :lol: I am going to search after posting this and see if there are past posts about t...

Its very nice looking. Do they grow fast? I just bought my first fig. Since I am in Chicago I bought hardy Chicago lol.

macario

looks good!

macario

I have seen them do well in full sun but they seems to look the best when they get about 6 hours sun and the rest shade. Thats just my opinion.

macario

thats a great clearance rack selection there . Looks great

macario

Thats cool what be even more cool is if it could produce viable seed and maybe produce more mini mutants lol.

macario

Very nice. You have so much flushing too.

macario

Looks nice and healthy!! Yougoing to bonsai it like your other baby?

macario

Yes paul from death does come life. It will help you learn more how to deal with and grow the survivors. Plus it makes room for new blood lol.

macario

Looks like you placed it in a good spot hope you have success.

macario

macario

macario

hello palmmandan Nice to meet you!!

macario

They look REEEAAAALLLL good! I love how green everything is and the last to blue palms are gorgeous!!

macario

cool!

macario

Who knows barb after 30 + years you may have perma bonsai'd it. Maybe it will stay short.

macario

I would be interested in seeing if the palm was planted in the ground some place warmer, would it start growing normal or would it stay small perminantly. Then I would also be curious as to would offspring from that little guy be small also

macario

Thanx barb. I will feal much better when a few full leaves make my stump look like the Butia I have grown to like very much.

macario

sorry to see that. Have a different pot in mind for next time?

macario

well Barb my hi lo said it was -3f . There was 1 week it was awfull. This was the worst winter for me in a LONG time. We didnt have much snow and everything was not protected from the snow like it normaly would have been. IT was dry and bitter cold for almost 3 weeks straight. Even one of my sabal m...

macario

Well barb Inside the enclosure it was down to 0 degrees every night for almost 2 weeks. Again I really dont know how long the cover on the cold frame was loose. Seeing the butia all freeze dried I figure it was a while. My trachys are toasted as well :( . I removed all of the leaves they where that ...

macario

Well I have some great news!! Today I went to the " stump " that was my pindo palm. I had to cut all the stems and leaves off and it kind of look like a brown stump. I noticed that the bud area had pushed up almost a whole inch!! I am so happy! I bought the other pindo thinking it was thro...

macario

I always get anxious and end up burning alot of palms. Yesterday I moved everything into the cold frame because it gets defused sun. I will try 2 weeks and see if they can take full sun by then. Thanx for the reminder!!

macario

Nice! where did you buy it? Does it seem to grow fast or slow?

macario

All I can say is good luck

macario

Kent I stopped in Dallas, then Houston, then Galveston. I have been buying palms on the kids spring break every year now for about 3 years. Allen it took ALOT of homedepot and lowes hopping. Also when I get to the hotel rooms I grab the yellowpages and start calling nurseries also :) Every city I st...

Well everything is going outside during the summer. The bismarkia and king and queen sago will be brought indoors during the winter. I have a heated basement with 8' ceilings and I am in the process of cleaning it out and all summer I will be adding grow lights down there so I can keep some palms do...

But still also remeber with some protection nothing to drastic it can be done. With christmas lights and plastic it would work.

macario

as usual very cool

macario

oppalm that enclosure looks cool. When summer hits it will be 75% off I bet

macario

There are a few place here in chicago that have palms. One is called jamaica gardens in morton grove. Another is a place called pesches flowers and garde...

macario
