Can anyone identify this palm? I just removed a few offsets from it and wanted to do some research on them. I am more acquainted with cycads than palms. Also,...
Kevin, that is a European fan palm (Chamaerops humilis). I have no idea how much it would be worth in SD, but here in Florida they sell for around $25 per foot...

I guess it's possible. Can something be done for nematodes, or is that a "no win" situation? Barry To: palmsociety@yahoogroups.com From: tjwalters@......

Okay, I just always thought it was weird how the entire fronds looked perfect, yet every tip of each one "broke over". I've been doing a lot of rearranging...
Barry, I'm with TJ on this, can't say with 100% certainty but it sounds like nematodes to me. Here root-knot species thrive in our sandy soils regardless of...
