Palm update!

15 years ago

Just a few updates on my palms, and since its so hot I figured that I would insert a photo from this past Christmas just to help cool everyone down.

After losing several fronds from shipping shock, the bismarkia is really putting out now.

Sabal palmetto starting to produce palmate fronds

This windmill has seen the last of full sun for this year

sabal minor savannah ga.

Windmill has recovered from spear pull, but hasn't responded from being transplanted.

Waggie and princep both putting out new fronds. I was told that the waggie was grown in full sun, but the shorter new fronds leads me to believe differently. Glad it was free.

Sabal birmingham, brazoria and a cycad taitungensis going into my new rock garden.

Thanks for looking, feel free to post updates of your palms too.

Lol, I agree with Alex. I dont miss winter AT ALL. My winter is a lot worse than you guys I think because Alex is in zone 7 and Chad and earthworm are in zone 8 and Im in zone 6. Its horrid up here. Lake effect snow, super cold temps, it was bad,lol.

Good luck chad, I like you palms!!

Looking good Chad...

With the current heat,I am sure your Trachy won't mind being out of the sun!

Sabal Louisiana is one of/if not my favorite Sabal.
They(Sabals) usually pick up speed once they start getting divided leaves...

Hunter I would bet you get buried during winter. I wish I lived atleast 1 zone warmer.

Jim, after seeing those bulgarian trachys at PDN in full shade I think it will be fine too. It had the same shade last year. And made it through or winter unprotected.

Chad, I'd love to be a half zone milder to be more on par with Virginia Beach. They're only 2 and a half hours drive south of me and it's amazing what they can grow there. Still, I'm grateful that we usually don't much snow or seldom see temperatures below 20F.
