Dean those palms and cycads look great. How old are the Sabals? Is the side of your house south facing?

John,

Those Sabals are about 7 years old. No, that side of the house faces East. Thanks for the compliments.

I have some Poison Ivy I need to go in and spray tommorow. So I have to be really careful not to get it on my babies. :lol:

Dean great palms. You can use the Roundup for poison ivy, it wont harm the Sabals. I use it all the time & it has never damaged my Sabals.

Thanks you all. Yes, I'm very proud of my palms and cycads.

Todd, yes, I'm going to use some Round Up. I didn't know that it wont harm my Sabals. The only problem is it's growing right next to some Lemon Grass I need to dig out. That's why I have to get some rubber gloves out and do the Round up thing w/ a sponge. I don't want to harm the Lemon Grass.

In case anybody is wandering what's in the 10-gallon pots in the middle picture they are bamboos. Shade loving Chimonobambusa quadrangularis, Pseudosasa japonica 'Tsutsumiana', Qiongzhuea tumidissinoda.
