My most recent palm tree purchase was a medditeranean fan palm that is a very large 3 gallon tree that Im thinking about putting in the ground. Right now I have all my outdoor palms outside as well as my potted sago palm, windmill palm seedlings, and medditeranean fan palm. I would have brought my queen palm outside, but it has some pothos vines under it which are very sensitive to cold and are still recovering from when it saw 30F last spring. Lots of 50s in the forecast and a chance for 60s too! No nights below freezing and all precipitation will be rain. I cleaned the deck and around all palm trees this weekend (figured I should get the worst part over with). I was very happy to see that the easter lily bulbs that I left on my deck ALL winter long bare root, was 100% alive so I planted them and we shall see how they do. Spring is on its way!

I will be planting a 8-10" cabbage palm (sabal palm) now that the worst of the winter, I hope, is over. I have a european fan palm that is thriving and just planted a small Pindo and several needle palms.

Recently purchased the following:

Serranoa repens (silver variety)
Raphis humilis (slender lady palm)
Sabal Minor
Butia capitatas
Jubaea chilensis (Chilean wine)
Livistona australis

Will be planting:

Butias
Needle
Sabals
and maybe the Serranoa and a Chamaerops humilis

this week i am taking a trip to myrtle beach where i know a nursery thats selling palmettos any size for $75 if you pick it up yourself.Im gonna take pictures of purchase and installation.Probaly get a 7 footer so it wont be so heavy,cause im installing it myself.

Wow! thats cool njoasis where are you getting your chilean wine palm from? i've been looking myself and I really would like to get one soon they are just somewhat rare and expensive... NCpalm- I would love to go down soon and look for a nursery like that and pick up some palms for cheap! i Really need palms that nice large size... good luck to everyone! -Justin

No palms in this group but I always seem to find something else,almost bought a cardboard palm but spent my money on this stuff for now!

1-Seeds from China(Various Trachys)
2-Seeds Bulgarian Trachys
3-2,Itenerans(banana plants)
4-14 varieties of hardy cactus from Colorado+
5-2 Brugmansias plants
6-1-3g C.cooperi (tree fern)
7-Blue ribbon sugarcane(makes a nice tall grass like exotic look)
8-Pindo seedling and Canna from Dennis(StatenIsland) if I'm lucky(-;
9-WagxNanus from Ireland and Chicago(if I'm lucky;-)

I just got a 4 ft. Windmill and a 2 ft. Needle along with some other trees. Do you think it is okay to plant them or leave them outside? It has been in the 60s, but it is supposed to drop back down to the 50s and and a couple days in the upper 40s next week, with the lows in the low 30s. I've been putting them in my garage every night for now. If it isn't okay to plant these yet, when should I?

I would wait until early april when 60s and 50s are a lot more permenant. You can take the plants outside now, but I wouldnt actually plant them for another few weeks when the ground temperature is warmer.

I haven't bought any palms recently, but I have collected palm seeds from local palms. I just planted some freshly germinated med. fan palm seeds, and am waiting for Brahea Armata seeds to germinate. I collected those in December and they are in a zip lock bag with moist soil.

I did recently plant a couple of succulents though:

Aloe Hercules
Aloe Microstigma
Aloe Fosteri
