i dug it up and saw many new roots

That is exciting!

I didn't realize yuccas would do that, good to know it works with a damaged brevifolia.
And good strong looking seedlings too.

You've got some great plants.
A warm spring has really moved your plants along.

Thanks for those pics.

Nice, damir.
Has the CIDP fully recovered from slight winter damage?

Mine isn't moving yet, and it was indoors in the cold building!

Yes it certainly did, damir.
Nice specimen ready to burst into big fronds with the heat.

damir · Post by **damir** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 12:31 am

agave stricta

damir · Post by **damir** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 12:38 am

my big albizzia and 2 washingtonias

black fig

cold hardy mini kiwi, down to -30C, first fruits,3rd year

damir · Post by **damir** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 12:45 am

Beautiful place, nice pictures! Damir, believe your CIDP costs much more than all these palms along the Croatian riviera!

DesertZone · Post by **DesertZone** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 11:45 am

Loved the pics.

Great shots, Damir! I like the Zizyphus!

TimMAz6 · Post by **TimMAz6** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:46 am

great photos Damir! Great scenery. I would love to vacation their.

Do you have an update photo of your small Y. faxoniana? The leaves appear very narrow for a Y. faxoniana seedling. I received Y. faxoniana seeds from Mesa Garden back in 2001 and they grew into hybrid plants (crossed with a narrow leaf yucca). Some are still alive in my garden but very slow growing.

damir · Post by **damir** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 6:42 am

the new member of exotic plants. the pistachio tree. actually the seedling, but one day when it grow up it will be.

damir · Post by **damir** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 6:49 am

and here it is how it looked like one month ago

here is the difference between real one and wild pistachio native to Croatia, pistacia terebinthus (right)

here is kerman pistachio from Iran.

If you hurry you can still eat that nut!

Do you have a pic of the native one of Croatia, tree view?

damir · Post by **damir** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 1:24 am

i dont have any of my own pics of terebinth pistachio. google it, it is the same look of the plant. looks like real one pistachio but smaller leaves, fruits.... i've read somewhere that the seeds of terebinth pistachio is sold in Turkey as a coffee. it has very interesting smell.

damir · Post by **damir** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 6:24 am

my trachy survived -25 C this winter, but it didn't survive this morning ice from the roof.

I am mad!

Damn! Life is brutal ehhh...

lucky1 · Post by **lucky1** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 8:38 am

Oh no, damir!

Gently...lift ice off.

I hope it's not dead.

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 8:49 am

Everything looks great!

How is your winter going???

TimMAz6 · Post by **TimMAz6** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:07 am

go figure your plants survive the brutal cold only to get damaged from roof ice!

You still look real cold over there! Still warm here! I guess your cold = our warmth!

damir · Post by **damir** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 12:30 am

winter is gone now.

http://www.mojkvart.hr/Osijek/vremenska-prognoza
this link shows temps in next 15 days.
tim, you are right, our cold in europe , is your warmth.
jim, it looks .... i wont say it, but you might know what i think.

i dug it out, the trachy palm, and plant it in the pot in basement till the spring comes out. and i will need another place for it, to avoid this year story. the main thing is that it is alive. i cut down all the leaves that were broken and some upper part of the trunk, it will survive.

Cameron_z6a_N.S. · Post by **Cameron_z6a_N.S.** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 11:51 am

Damir, that's bad news about the T. fortunei! Hopefully it will recover while potted.

damir · Post by **damir** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 1:24 am

some new pics of cold hardy cactus after winter!!

y.filamentosa,cupressus sempervirens,opuntia humifusa

e.coccineus, first winter outdoor,no any protection and it looks just fine

"the cat" i found in the street when was just one month old. he likes to eat young yuccas,so he is a "yucca lover" . i prefer dogs,but this one is special.

damir · Post by **damir** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 1:40 am

this is what is left from my trachy that was hit by the ice from the roof of the house...

plants from basement. y.elata,one yr old seedling,araucaria araucana,butia capitata right,trachy bulgaria small one left,agave lechuiguilla in back,and part of washingtonia trunk.

few chamaerops humillis rigida blue seedlings that were left outdoor without protection,still looks good,we'll see in spring when/if it will grow...

damir · Post by **damir** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 1:48 am

two small pistachios. pistacia vera. one is from seed from croatia,and other one is from seed from iran. and if it is male and female, in about 10 years i will have my own pistachios
