It is weird how these things happen. I have two of these Cycads I got from Mr. Robert Chumley. Since they are my favorite cycad, I was doing a bit more research today and found one site that had a report of the Caudex splitting from below the dirt level up to the apex and going deep into the center....

Kansas

You can come pick it up at that time, I'll be in Florida by then

Kansas

The greenhouse is 8' by 6'. I am just using a little heater for heat but when it gets REAL cold I use another one (two heaters).

Kansas

Yea, I think maybe in a month or so, around mid March, I will start my ole reliable cow manure treatment that I had so much luck with last year. I REALLY hope it helps a large Coontie that I didn't take a pic of that Mr. Chumley sent me. Last year the cow manure made everything flush twice as many t...

Kansas

Not much growth other than on my Spinulosum, but here is some Winter pics. All of them are in the greenhouse and doing pretty well. BTW, all of these are from the great grower Mr. Robert Chumley except for the on Spinulosum. So anybody looking to buy some can use this as advertisement........... htt...

2/2/08 update. Still one of my pride -N- joy trees.

Kansas

Well Steve, I take back what I said about mine not doing that. I DO have one that I found today. Sorry for the blurry pic, but you can see, it has two trees growing from one seed.... http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/TopekaPalms/Picture006-6.jpg And here is the community pot it is growing in....

Kansas

...but so far it's doing well. Well, as well as can expected being locked up inside the basement for 2 months. I had this guy out in the greenhouse but it was not doing anything and may have been on it's way yo death, maybe because of the dry heat from the heaters. But I brought it in and it has put...

Kansas

I am not a smart man, but I KNOW WHO TO ASK TO POP MY SEEDS!!

Kansas

TOO TRUE!!
Robert Chumley is the BEST when it comes to cycad/dioon/encephalartos/and others. Not to mention he is the nicest guy you will talk to!

Kansas

Your both gonna need to build huge greenhouses to support your habbits... :lol: Yea, I knew better than have myself try to pop these. I asked the Germination KING to do mine for me :lol: These were SOOOOO important to me that I didn't want them to go down like most of my germination experiences. Al...

Kansas

UUUUHHHHH, WHICH ONES ARE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kansas

NICE NICE NICE!!!!!!!

Kansas

I just checked my valencia, and the oranges are still green and the size of "clementine" oranges, but I did see 4-5 new batches of new leaves, so it IS still going.

Kansas

Thanks Laaz. I sent them an e-mail asking them about their stuff. We will see, however I DO have a good feeling about them as there stuff is from California, and well described.

Kansas

I sell the snakes to venom extractors. Actually, a guy that invented a field antivenom, used the snakes he bought from me to invent the antivenom. I caught about 13-14 Western Diamondbacks and sold them to him (if a person kills them, I don't sell them to him/her) and he called me about a year later...

Kansas

GREAT NEWS STEVE. Looks like a good crop, even if it is in Kansas!!!!!
Congrats on them!

Kansas

OMG BARRIE!!!!!!
YEEEEEEA, after that Spinulosum, I would drop an A-BOMB on that thing.
WOW, how disappointing!

Kansas

Sorry for the BAD blurry pics, but these were taken about 6-7 years ago with a bad camara and an idiot that couldn't take pics :oops: Timber Rattler. This particular species of Timber is the "CaneBrake". Found west of Topeka in Waubaunsee County. 2' long http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/...

Kansas

The Brazilian, can you post a pic for the group cause I would like them to see how BEAUTIFUL of a snake that is. I never had a Brazilian, but I had a few Columbian Red Tail and LOVED them. What a GORGOUS snake those are too. Before I had my second son, I kept some of the rattlers. I will post them i...

Kansas

Steve, I have NO IDEA what that is

That is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. None of my others have that.
However it's brothers & sisters are BOOMING with growth after I brought the community pot inside and kept warm & wet.

Kansas

Again,sory to stray off topic, but my personal findings and advice... spend the extra $$$ and get triple pane windows. When my neighbors complain of $200 & $300 heating bills, I still have $100 heating bills. When I touch my windows on the inside, they are still warm. The $$$ you save will pay f...

Kansas

Cali, Kinda off the tree thing, but 6-7 years ago, before my second kid was born. I was huge into reptiles. I heard from a friend that had another friend that lived on a farm just outside the town I lived in, tell the story about how mice and rats were eating all his grain that he fed the cattle wit...

Kansas

You really DO need a greenhouse. This morning we are at -2 outside, and my greenhouse somehow got unplugged last night, I woke up this morning and saw the temp in the GH was still at 35. I know that is bad, but considering it was -2 outside, I lucked out. Having a greenhouse has really been helpfull...

Kansas

Thanks SOOOOO much folks.

Kansas

decaryi.
Wet feet and bright bright sun.

Kansas

Depends on what kind of Cycad/Dioon you want. You can get a baseball/softball size caudex King Sego for $10 at Wal Mart!

Kansas

Nope, not planted that way. If you look close, you will notice that the leaf (s) on the left side are straight up. Trachycarpus have a trait in some that is called "SFH" which stands for "Slope Frost Heave". Which is exactly what it means. These palms are from the part of the wor...

Kansas

Dean, If I remember this Spring, I will send you some of mine that I got seeds from Robert Chumley. He sent me about 75 seeds and I think all of them popped. I have them in this community pot....

Kansas

Thanks. My Spindle that you gave me looks like it is doing a bit better than brother & sister, but WOW the brother & sister of the trachy I gave you, WOW. Mine has Frost Heev (sp?) HORRIBLE and the leaves are tiny. What should I do with the Trachy? Should I repot this Spring or just let it g...

My wife works with a guy that we have gotten close to him and his wife and family. 3 months ago they had a baby girl. The sweet heart was born with Downs Syndrome. The tough little girl needed Heart Surgery soon. However after 3 months of being a little warrior, The Lord needed her to be an angel la...

I guess this is a kinda "let us know more about yourself" thread. How cool and wonder why this never came up earlier??? I played Football up until I graduated and had many offers, the main one was to play for D-II (at the time it was D-II) Powerhouse Pitt St. who at that time was the "...

Kansas

Hey buddy, A while back you gave me one Spindel that had just popped and put out it's first leaf.
Since I got it home, it has really taken off. I was wondering if you could post a pic of it's brothers & sisters so I can compare. Thanks.

Kansas

Steve, I MIGHT be able to ummmm, have a piece of split pipe fall off my trunk the next time I go to Salina if you want some. That way you don't have to cut it, thats how it comes, then you just snap it together and keep it closed with tie wraps.
Just let me know.

Kansas

AWESOME Steve!!!
Your Nova looks great after the transplant. Tose are my all time favorite plants/tree/cycad. They grow so quick with little to no care.

Kansas

DEFINATLEY YES, it's a triangle.
Looks like a REALLY nice one too.

Kansas

I have a Triangle Palm and it HAS red leaves for a while, then they turn green.
That first one of the two is DEFINATLEY a Triangle, the second, I would need to see the trunk.

Kansas

Definatly will try that!!!

Kansas

I would REALLY like to get one of these but need a good place to order from. I can not spend a bunch, maybe $30 and want one that is about at LEAST a baseball size trunk.
Who would you all recomend??

Kansas

OK, I am a HUGE fan of ole-time sit coms from when I was a kid, Golden Girls (cause it reminds me of Florida), Gilligan's Island, Cheers, Alice, etc. However one of my ALL TIME Favorites is WKRP in Cincinnati. I just like how it was set in Cincy and the show REALLY makes you feel like the show is ac...
