Not that I've bought 100's of palms but seem to have much better luck buying from independents where palms were germinated and grew from seedlings in somewhat of a colder climate close to what I experience. Stuff from Steve Anderson has been rock solid, as well as Jungle Music. Just ordered from Chi...

After realizing the Mexican Fan Palm after 2 1/2 years in the ground was going to be a issue with building a ever taller cage for winter protection I was going to dig it up and move it 2 feet further away from where it's at. What a nightmare to dig up the root ball...so much so I gave up about 1/2 w...

I got the palm bug when I read the article about some very tall Windmill palms planted at a hotel in Des Moines, IA....... The palms didn't live I guess because the city wouldn't allow a permit to allow the hotel to protect them with heat, although they did construct some metal silo looking things w...

Well do keep an eye out for a Chinese Fan palm, even at Walmart. Couple of years ago a bunch of Walmarts had them here in Omaha. Nice 3/4 foot tall ones for $15 each. Those are the ones I planted in the ground. Or...keep them in over sized pots and just keep them in garage over the winter. They are ...

Minimum soil temps for planting cold hardy palms?
Anxious like everyone else in getting some cold hardy palms in the ground and was curious from any experts on here if there is a minimum soil temp before planting in the ground. Currently for my area and through the University of Nebraska soil temp is 38F I can be patient, but want new outdoor palms...

I've seen adding limestone mentioned here and there in posts. Is that something that should normally be included to add to palm soil much like fertilizer from time to time? If so, how much and often?? Also, Steve mentions the addition of Calcium. A one time thing? or something to do from time to tim...

Saw your post in Palmtalk....One palm you might want to try is a Queen. Not to leave in the ground all year, but to bury the pot in the ground for the season. Queens are cheap tp buy, grow amazingly fast, and are pretty cold hardy so you can leave them out longer. I Have two, one in a large foam pot...

Anyone have any experience with a Needle Palm with spear pull come back that is in the ground? While it had protection from the elements, I added a string of xmas lights when it was going to get below 0 for quite a few days and it had only been in the ground for 2 winters..but looked good. The heat ...

Spring 2014 update...
Nice couple of days coming up so took clear totes off some in the ground palms specifically the 3 Chinese fan palms I've had in the ground now for 2 winters. Last year protection was simply cut to ground level, and I stacked 3 bags of mulch over the top. No heat. 2013 was the worst spring in years a...

Time will tell in another month when some palms can be uncovered to see what damage is. I have one Trachy in the ground that has done fine but it like my Cape Hattaras has root heat, and christmas lights for warmth. Biggest thing I battle really is condensation and fungus on fronds so when we have n...

Wow, those are nice size. I bought the smallest Steve Anderson sells last year, put it in the ground mid summer and didn't supply it with any heat protection, just a semi clear storage tote so it wouldn't get crushed by snow and it is still alive today. It is MUCH smaller than yours. http://s14.post...
