WOW. I did the slide show presentation. thats an impressive display of palm hoarding. No wonder the cost of palm trees is so high, you control the entire market. very very nice job and lots of work to be sure. Thanks for the pics.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

John, what kind of overhead lighting, if any, do you use in your garage?

Lighting
Kent I used a four grow bulb flourescent light fixture and a 600 watt metal halide. I moved the lights around quite a bit so all my palms bananas get equal lighting.

Yessirree, he does indeed have a nice collection!
John, it's amazing how much everything has grown since I saw them last year!
And I see a couple more young palms that interest me too...will let you know once I figure out what they are.
Your yuccas and bananas are getting so big, nice growth on the agaves and joshua trees.
Washies and trachies look very healthy; winter outside certainly did them no harm at all.
Your bottle palm has grown more than mine!
I like the option below the pics where everything's named. Looking again.
Didn't see your Egyptian papyrus? Mine almost died in the heat this year, despite being in the fishpond.
Well done!

Thanks Bill for your comments. I`ll be watching to see how your huge Washy`s do this winter. Barb that Bottle palm was transplanted in April to a 15 gal pot. The papyrus croaked early spring. I`m surprised that the Trachy`s have done so well considering they are in full sun and heat 90% of the day. They have put out Eight to ten green new fronds each so far. Last year some of the fronds burnt in the heat. Let me know if your interested in anything and I`ll bring it up when we build your palm huts.

John,
I'd like a Butia eriospatha...stunning!
Any size you want to sell.
Other than that, I've got to hold off ... too many plants here now.
Too bad about the papyrus...are they "dividable"?
If so, I'll cut mine in half for you.
It's just a midget now, having lost its tall spikes to wind.

no heat protection
Bill you mean the landscape fabric . I was promised some crushed gravel from a friend of mine who is a landscaper "who has yet to deliver" been waiting three months now! Maybe it will be here when the snow flies. LOL. Got to rattle some chains.
I`ll be planting some Washy`s next spring.
