barb, you kept seeds too long in water. a month? 2 or 3 days in water are just fine.it grows in desert, too much water can kill it. dates are very easy to grow. just needs deeper pots (-as for the all other palms) to grow well,good drainage,full sun and not too much of water. this is very interestin...

Yes I've seen those pics of med fruits that are grown in the Alps, and palms in Switzerland, etc. etc. Really enjoyed viewing all those pics years ago. Here are some P.dactylifera I started from edible dat...

barb, those bigger ones that stayed outdoor and toasted, are just bigger cidps in pots, no seeds on it. they are not mature to have seeds. i doubt that any cidp here grown in pots can have seeds. there must be and the male palm next to it. i am glad i found this few survivors. my trachys that are le...

palms are in south position. if it is a CIDP it should have thicker leaves, but it looks like it is not. dacty ?? maybe, or a hybride?? it is very interesting, at least for me, cause seeing feather palm planted in the ground in my county is not frequent opportunities. specially if it can handle our ...

about one and year ago, i discovered few palm seedlings in one garden. after the winter that year seedlings were still alive. i didn't know what specie it belongs to, cause there were just those first leaves, undivided ones. at my surprise in walk last night, i saw it is a feather palm. i thought it...

when you dream that "the global warming" will come soon, and erase all the winters in future and the low temps for ever, so u could grow all kind of palms and exotics. as it is a new religion...hahahahaha "once when it comes"..... "palms will grow everywhere !!!!" :roll...

i would say it is gloriosa. or recurvifolia, but 90 % it's gloriosa.

here is my largest trachy fortunei wrapped inside "this". few lays of some cotton , looks like wool, in tube. then i put the nylon bag on it to protect it from rain,cold... simple as it looks.

damir

from my experience and many others NYLON as protection for palms,yuccas..... is very bas solution. just nylon. the better way is to wrap the palms in some other material like cotton,old t-shirts,sheets.. just wrap it 3 or 4 times around the palm,and then you may put the nylon cover on that, to prote...

i dont have any of my own pics of terebinth pistachio. google it, it is the same look of the plant. looks like real one pistachio but smaller leaves, fruits.... i've read somewhere that the seeds of terebinth pistachio is sold in Turkey as a coffee. it has very interesting smell.

i am very glad that your j-tree is alive!! my favorite yucca. from my experience it can be treated with root hormone and you can make new ones. take the cuttings of this tree and put the bottom of the cutting in the hormone and more on the trunk of the cutting,place it in the soil, low moist, good d...

Nice yuccas damir. What's the yucca on the right?

you mean leaves how tall can it grow?? since it isn't trunk forming yucca. i think like filamentosa, something like that. about 50 cm , more ore less . this one had such a nice growth because is planted in the ground this spring. other glaucas i have from this year, were planted in plastic glasses a...
