My palm pics

[dave]

Here are some of the cold-hardy palms I'm growing

Sabal minor<br>


Nannorrhops ritchiana<br>


Butia yatay<br>


Phoenix theophrastii (newest leaf is pinnate, but its still emerging so hard to see)<br>


These are all seed-grown from RPS seeds. Age approximately 1 year.

dave,

Ok, I'm jealous!! I am still waiting for my Christmas palms to sprout. I looked at some and they have very tiny tap roots starting. So I am keeping my fingers crossed. Yours look great

Nice pictures Dave,

How leaves did your Phoenix theophrastii shoot up before the pinnate leaf emerged?

[dave]

Hi Phil.

The first pinnate leaf on my P. theophrastii was the fifth leaf from germination. All five have stayed around pretty good, although the first one is getting a bit ragged now.

I've got a bunch of P. dactylifera and some canaries that will be interesting to compare to the theo - so far growth rate on the theo is quite a bit slower than the others. Probably half. That's under pretty similar conditions, but not identical.

Here's a pic that shows mine after 3 years from seed. I do little (unfortunatly) to encorage their growth and are in a serious case of being overgrown with weeds. I am quite surprized at how tough these are even at such a small size.
Cheers, Barrie.

very nice seedlings!

Nice plants guys!

Hey Barrie maybe it's a symbiotic relationship between those weeds and palms!
