Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ben Green, and I live in Eudora, Ks.
I have been looking at a few palms for my yard to go along with everything else I have to dig up each year ;)
Another member told me about this forum and figured I better check it out.

Looking forward to learning lots!


Thanks,

Benjamin Green

Hope you learn lots and have fun planting tropicals.
There are a lot of posters from Kansas so you will find out what works there from them.

Sounds great. Just let me know about a week before, so I make sure I am in town.

The bamboo is fantastic. I can't wait until next year when mine will shoot again. I will have to post a few pics of mine now, each plant has 4-6 rhizomes that I can see at the surface heading in all directions! woohoo!
Thanks,

Benjamin Green

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.
