I disagree. Rhapis multifida has much narrower leaflets than the plant in the photos. My guess on the unknown plant is R. subtilis -- which can be highly...
Apologies for cross posting... The world's largest palm and cycad sale is here again!! The fall sale of the South Florida Palm Society is being held this...
Hi, I have a big fruiting orange petiole Jubaeopsis in my garden. I have planted many of the seeds, and only get about 2 percent germination. Of the seeds that...
We have one Jubaeopsis caffra growing in the Kopsick Palm Arboretum on the waterfront in downtown St. Pete. I'm told it was donated by Ed Brown some 20+ years...
is it possible to identify the actual variety of Cocos nucifera sprouts from the size of the nut and the color of the petioles? I ask because I have what I...
... It was just pointed out to me (thanks, Jason) that Volcano, HI is probably not where the Hawaiians were grown. My error (I wasn't precise in providing...
Doug The answer is a clear yes and no. Yes, it is possible to distinguish SOME coconut seedlings by nut size and sprout colour. No, you probably CANNOT tell...
Hey! Friends: Any body has JubaeaXBuitia for sale or for trade? The guy who promissed to sell it to me back off and not responds to my e-mail any more. I got...
You can get these special hybrids from Patrick Schafer in Philo California. His email is sssss@... He has MANY cocosoid hybrids including Parajubaea,...
And now they will plant ever more crepe myrtles in the 3'x3' sidewalk cutouts (where a palm was removed) in an attempt to forest the city. They will make a...
It would not be such a terrible disaster for a Washingtonia borer to come on the scene. Does anyone know what it costs to clean-up a Mexican fan palm that is...
Brahea edulis is short, self-cleaning, and drought-tolerant. The only real maintenance need would be to cut off inflorescences and carry away leaves. Jason...

Why don't you Angelinos suggest other palms suitable for the climate which will be tolerated? _____ From: palmsociety@yahoogroups.com...
But... The replacement has to be able to survive on 15" of rainfall falling into a 3'x3' square of soil, readily available (read that as cheap), quick to get...
Let's face it, the only thing that would be affordable, relatively drought and temperature tolerant, and doesn't take 20 years to reach 10 feet in California...
If it was more available Parajubaea torallyi might be a good candidate. Phoenix rupicola also is a good scale....

... Giant tropical timber bamboo, of course. I think getting rid of the palms is a ghastly idea, rather like the enforced extinction of dogs which California...
I have to guess the those working for the City are clueless. Any Tree is going to shed leaves and trees like sycamores will create much more biomass to shed...
All, I agree with Pat and the rest. This is another stupid idea by another stupid city council to meet the demands of a few outspoken members of the society...
Hi Group, I just sent this last posting to each and every member of the Los Angeles City Council. Hopefully, at least one member will read the email and share...

My dad warned me to remember that you and I (speaking about himself) are what I would call of average intelligence....that means that half the people around us...
Hermine, I've been following the thread from a desk up in Michigan. Our nurseries up here that plant malls and cities have three plant types: Pennisetum,...
