Extra palms

18 years ago

I have 2 small Golden Cane Palms (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) in my back yard I wish to remove. I brought too many this spring and I want to add a couple new heliconias in their spot. I am willing to give them to someone in St Pete, Clwr, or anyone in the area. I'm always willing to trade for heliconia, but will not set it in stone. They are only about 5' tall.

pete - your best bet might be to just give those Arecas away to someone in your neighborhood.

My mom(we live in NE st pete) needs something to put between the concrete in her driveway and her front door to help with shade. It's about 2-3' wide and 10' long space.

How tall would they grow? Thanks.

teeka - Areca palms can grow to over 30 feet. I would not recommend them for that space.

I've stopped giving any of my extra plants to my neighbors because much that I've shared have been tossed in the trash or let to die. My neighbors across the street was given 6 palm trees and yet they will not water them, but want them. I have them rooted angel trumpets that they let dry up and die. Many folks are to lazy to come by and get them and want me to plant them! I tried for years to share my bounty of plants with others, but like always are not interested. I have since stopped giving them away. Just an example of what happened last year has placed a bad taste in my mouth. I started and gave away 120 small angel trumpet trees, bromeliads, heliconias, to them for their garden sale I cared and fed the plants up till the sale and yet the head of the group said to me "they didn't want to be my frieds, but they only wanted my free plants" So after getting them plants for 1.00 a piece from a felow gardener and said that to me. I stopped giving them anything. I felt used! I now toss all the trumpet cuttings in the trash. They are so ungrateful for my actions I gave up. I found this site hoping on meeting someone who is not ungrateful when they are offered plants. When I get over run with heliconias i will share them with nurseries or anyone on here that is interested. I give and give and never get anything back but heartless pain

I left a recycle bucket full of bromeliads out by the street and no one took any so off they went to horticultural waste. HOWEVER they did help themselves to the hose from the woman across the street and used it to help themselves siphon gas from my son's truck! No the cap didn't lock but it does now.
