I can say what i know some of the people around here do to keep the rabbits from chewing on their flowers etc...(not so much palms considering i live in chicago) but you should put some hot sauce on some of the lower fronds and the area...once they take a bite out of that they won't come back because they hate hot stuff...just a suggestion.

Take some fresh cloves of garlic. Squish them just a bit to releast the juices.

Put a bunch of cloves around the parameter of the plants and some close to the plants.

Also sprinkle some Cyanne pepper (spelling??) round the area.

Oh, and put some chicken wire..... oh wait.... LOL ):D

spatro / blondboy ... thanks ... its as good as done ... it really sucks ... I have a really nice microclimate 8a that I been fortunate enough to grow Chamaerops humilis but the rabbits just eat the stuff out of them .... thanks again

No prob.....I would love to see some pics if you got some...its always nice to see some pics of palms growing where they shouldn't be.

What I do for rabbits is, take a 10 to 1 mixture of water and amonia and put it in a garden sprayer and spray around what ever you want protected. This is the smell of fox urine and all edible prey run from it. Once every 2 weeks or after a hard rain. Good Luck
