Yes sir ...we had our first 20c yesterday....

Ben

how old is the one in flower? think you will get any viable seed from it?

Mike...are you sitting down? It's approx. 36 or 37 years old. Maybe even 38, can't remember.
In successive big pots until being planted a few years ago.

It's a male, so unless it does what John's did (rare event of male and female flowers on his last year), no seeds are expected.

Barb

can I get a pic of the whole tree? at 37 yrs old it should be 20+ft by now

Proud mama-wxmax will probably be next if his palms are still alive

Nope, not 20 feet...seems I bonsai-ed it all those years

It's my avatar pic.

Yup, proud mama, that's me.

Very nice Barb, I think trachys are so beautiful in flower. You may get a new avatar photo from it.

Looking good!

Thanks folks.

Yippeeee...growing season's here!

Barb

I like that.
I know you palm is old, but how old it has to be to make flowers?

Tavi

Great work as usual, Barb!

Thanks folks.

how old it has to be to make flowers?

Mine started inflorescing (spellling?) the next year after it was put in the ground.

Barb

Yes...that is cool, is this a first?

Thank you Aaron.
This is its third year of blooming. Here's the pic from 2011:

Excellent Barb!!

Thanks Michael, that was the flower 2 years ago.
Hoping for a nice show this year too.
