Hi all, I've had 2 pigmy date palms in pots now for one year. It seems like one is a little top heavy and growing thin roots near the soil surface. Some of...
Hi Glenda, I have grown several pigmy date (Phoenix roebelenii) in pots and never trim roots unless they are damaged. The only reason I can think of would be...
Okay everyone, I have a p. dactilifera (sp?) that has about 25 ft of clear trunk. It has started producing pups around the base. My question is, will I damage...
Glenn, Sorry it took so long for me to respond. Here are my best guesses on your palm seeds. Palm 2 could very well be Pseudophoenix sargentii (Sargent's...
Did anyone get a chance to look at the pics I uploaded to try and identify palms seeds? Any seed experts wish to try and identify them - they are not the...
Perhaps that explains the poor luck I've had with L. grandis, ramsayi, and spinosa. I've heard that Cyrtostachys grow well in water--transplanted mine down...
Hello Everyone, I had a new computer set up this morning and I'm trying to get used to it. I think I may have replied to some very old threads that were ...
I am certified in large-scale interiorscape through ALCA, and thoroughly enjoy the palms that we have inside the three atriums here at the Opryland Hotel. I,...
We have been growing P. roebellinis in moving water for nearly 9 nears. The specimens were recently removed, repotted and put back into the pool treated with...
Hi Lorraine, What is your potting mix? If you think they might survive by a small pond with a bubbler to move the water I would like to try this. Best of...
Raine, Do you have any digital pictures of what you just described in your post about the roebellinis? ~ Glenda Lorraine <boot_scootin_raine@...> wrote: ...
Hi Gaston To my knowledge (I may be wrong), the only armless butia known so far is purpurascens. Could yours be a new species ? Butia torresverae ;-))... ...
Recently (2 months ago) planted two Copernicia alba palms - one in my yard and the other in the median at the entrance to my subdivision. I have noticed a...

Hi Gerard. Have you seen how interesting sound to get a palm with the own name? :-))) Now, im tempted:-)) Sound good!.... That i know Butia purpurascens hasnt...
Bob- They were merely in a Fafard soiless mix... nothing fancy nothing special. There roots had escaped out the bottom of the container and was very thick in...
Thanks Lorraine, I just lost mine to a combination of last (2003) winter's cold and too much rain last summer. I thought it was expiring due to fungus in the ...
Well, if your employer sells postcards of that sort of thing, it could be scanned & uploaded to the group site. Or a regular photo would do as well. ~ Glenda ...
Unfortunately, Gaylord doesn't think much of the gardens, and therefore doesn't emphasize much with them. They seem to think that they are the least important...
I believe B. archeri is also not armed. I will go through Glassmans references and photocopy. I just have not had the time until now. Best regards, Ed ... ...
... Glassmans "revision of Syagrus " Henderson lists Butia campicola as without spines, Glassman list Syagrus campicola as the rachis being fibrous. I think ...
I wrote the reply to both you and Gaston as it is sort of 3 way conversation. I hope you didnt think I was talking around you or otherwise being impolite on...
Thanks Ed for the reply. No offense at all. So B. or S. campicola could well be a good candidate, unless other features such as the shape and the color of the...
Gerard and Ed. Thanks for the replies. I was thinking could be a B. campicola that Henderson book say is solitary or clustered, spineless (fibrose)petioles but...
I need to photo copy Glassmans reference and send it to you this will add to your data base. Hendersons book though authoritative is just "one take " on the...
Not a true palm, I know, but hey, who should I ask? I figure someone here can help though. Just wondering if anyone has any seed or seedling to trade or for ...
