What kind of tree is this?

My Dad's friend has a tree in his yard, and I can't seem to identify it. It's only about 15-20 feet tall, and has these leaves, as well as these red colored stringy pieces. Anyone know what this is?

Anyone else in Ohio here? Got a few Q's

If there is anyone else here in Ohio, I have a few questions. Anyone know of a nursery in the Cleveland area that may happen to have T. Fortuneis? I am looking to put 2 in our front yard, as well as some Needle Palms up against the house, however this being Ohio, it's kinda hard to find this stuff. ...

Forgot to mention... I DID find food finally at a good price, at the dollar store of all places. It's Rose and Flower food, and the numbers are 12-4-8, and it seems to be working very well. In just 3 days, the tree looks MUCH better.

Miracle-Gro ok for palms?

So the little card on my Chinese Fan Palm I have in my room recommends I fertilize it once a month. I picked up some Miracle-Gro Indoor plant food spikes. Are these ok to fertilize it with, or will I need to buy a palm specific food? If not, should I just follow the directions on the package? Any he...

Since I am a noob I will ask, what is a die back palm? I'm assuming that means it will die completely and comeback when it warms up? :?:

Ahh, glad to see the tag was correct... I guess the question is, Is this a cold hardy palm? Or should I just leave it in the house, and put some known cold hardy palms outside. I am located in Zone 6a, and see occasional temps obernight below 12-15*. It's rare but it does happen for a few hours over...

What palm is this?

Ok, so I picked up a potted palm a few days ago at a local store because it looked very healthy. However, I am fairly certain that the tag on it is wrong. It says it's a Chinese Fan Palm, however upon looking online, it looks nothing like one, but more like a Needle palm in some aspects. I am most l...

Hello from Amherst, OH!

Hi! I'm William, I am completely new to palm trees. They have always fascinated me since I saw them in South Carolina when I was younger. Now I want some! I've done some thorough research and found that I should be able to plant Needle Palms as well as Chinese Windmill Palms. However since I am comp...
