Mike, Those are definitely cocoid seeds (Tribe Cocoeae--seeds have three indentations on one end) and NOT Phoenix seeds (Tribe Phoeniceae). They look more like...
Tony, what you say is basically true, although my experience with "Roundup" (the regular, slow-working formula) has shown me that what others have said about...
I too am in S.Fla. Can I suggest that after cleaning out the weeds you mulch the area being careful to keep about 6-8" clear of the trunk. That way you may...
Hi, All this talk of Roundup is very interesting. I find here in S. Calif. that it is a very effective weed killer. I grow about 75 different kinds of palms...
Many people, including myself have problems with growing Marojejya darianii. That time I have imported many thousand of seeds. The germination was not great. ...

Aloha Ruud, I have found that surprisingly, at least to me, that the Marojejya darianii likes full sun from a small size. I am in Hawaii so the sun is fairly ...
Germinating seeds can be frustrating. Ones you don't want come up everywhere and you can't kill them. Though it is fairly common knowledge, a clean, sterile...

We oversprayed some Sabals in 5 gal cans from RoundUp we were using on some high weeds last year and it killed the Sabals quickly. I had not seen any damage...

I have tried many times to kill Syagrus romanzoffiana with Roundup. You can spray and spray..they don't even go yellow! I guess some species are less sensitive...
If you are TRYING to kill the Syagrus or Washingtonias, the trick is to hit them lightly with the weedeater before spraying. Not cutting them to nubs but just...

I have something to add concerning palms and Round Up. I have mistakenly sprayed palms with this herbicide and they apparently died; i.e. the emerging leaf...
Ken, you made some very good points. I think it needs to be repeated that there are now several types of Roundup available over the counter, so to speak. The...
That is a really useful tip! In my South Florida yard, Syagrus romanzoffiana has become a significant "weed" problem. I have a couple beautiful mature trees...

How long does it take for queen palms "Syagrus Romansoffianum" to sprout from seeds ? Are there any tricks to get the seeds to sprout sooner ? Thanks, kk...
Paul; If the crown is still green and firm and the emerging shoot doesn't pull out, it will probably survive. I would re-pot it in a bigger box with good soil...

Denis, Thank you very much for the intelligent advice. I bought the tree because I'm confident the crown shaft is in good shape, but I haven't pulled the...
Paul; Sounds like that Sabal has a fairly good trunk mass and may be a little too heavy to re-box without some equipment or labor. We move a lot of big stuff;...

Denis, Thanks again. While I appreciate the re-box method and will no doubt use the advice in the future I think I will plant it as a slightly raised root ball...
