wut the heck! all my pics are gone, & on photobucket all my pics are blank! has this ever happened to u guys? damn that sucks! well thanks TROPICALZONE7 & JIMHARDY! i think u guys are the only ones that got to see my pics! JIMHARDY, i got the trithrinax campestris at jungle music palms, he only has a few that size left! he said pretty soon no one well have that size avaliable for a long time, hes been in business 4 33years & he says thats always the trend with this palm! he ships but your probably looking at around $100+ for that size to get it to Iowa! dont worry cuz when i have my own nursery all take a bunch of different palms & sizes to a few big cities in a big rental trunk including Iowa for real cheap! lol, if u have to dream , dream big right! happy growing! like TROPICALZONE 7 said "let summer begin!"

That does happen sometimes. I think it might just be your computer (unless you fixed the problem) because I am still getting the pics. You have a nice collection of palms, all very healthy.
And once again, "let summer begin" (Im really looking forward to it!) :)

Good luck!

Like the photos and palm collection. Isn't your zone 8b good for most of those palms to survive in the ground?

You can bring the agave in during the winter and they do have some cold tolerance to around zone 9. I saw them thriving out on Cape Hatterus, NC at a Firehouse on the main road. That location fluxuates between a 8b and 9a.

Hey James760,

Yep!!! Pictures look great and are still on the web!!!
Love all of the new palms!!! Everything looks so healthy!!

I am in a Zone 8b and my blue Agaves as well as varigated ones do great and really get quite large...I do bring them in every winter and they don't need any attention at all!!
The only problem is when they get so large that you get piercings every place on your body when bringing in for the winter!!! LOL (I finally cut off the points on the granddaddy of them all!!! LOL !!!

Good Luck on your new grouping of palms and agaves!!

thanks everyone i appreciate u all checking out my palms! yea its still not showing my palms, i dont no wuts up with my computer! BROOKLYNGREG, I try getting palms that i no will survive in my area but that agave tequilana was said to only survive to 25*F but on daves garden he said hes got damaged at 27*F durning a 2007 freeze in the LA area! so that one will defineitly not make it in my area if it gets damaged at 27*f! i also have a roystonea borinquena which is a zone 10 palm, but i really like the livistona palms especially L.australis, L.decora/decipens & L.nitida! these ones are zone 9a, has anyone got these in the ground in a zone 8b? the L. chinensis is said to be a 8b so am gona get me some seeds pretty soon! thanks again everyone & happy spring!
