We just moved into our new house and I finally can start planting some of my palms,yuccas, bananas next spring
. I`m thinking my best chances for success are with my larger Trachys and yuccas,basjoos. Here are some photos.

Thanks Aaron. Could you show us more of your yard as I`m sure many of us would like to see how well they are doing.
Jay do you have any photo`s of your basjoos.

John, My bananas have been dissapointing so far. I guess i didn't pick the right spot for them. Next year i will find a better spot with less sun. I will take some pics near the end of September and post them.

John,
Great collection of palms. Have you got any good sized sabals or needles?

Wes I have lots of Sabal Louisiana, S. minor. I will be ordering some 10 gallon needles for the spring. Needles are hard to find on the west coast!
