Arctic Palm

I am still cleaning trying to clean the drule up! http://upload8.postimage.org/838497/doverpalm1.jpg http://upload8.postimage.org/838500/doverpalm3.jpg http://upload8....

Arctic Palm

Temps have been around 85-90 for a while now. So it has been much warmer than usual however this tree came from Florida so it's used to that. Being a "desert palm" I was afraid I was over watering it.

Ok, I will keep an eye on it!
Thanks

I have a 7 foot washy robusta in my front yard. It is growing fine but I am noticing the older fronds are begining to yellow. The tips and some places in the middle of the fan. Am I watering too much are am I missing something? The newer fans look pretty good. How do I green up these fast? Thanks ev...

Arctic Palm

I see. Hmmm...so this growtek is the way to go gor fast results?? Another question. I have a washingtonia robusta. It has been growing fine. I am noticing the older fronds are begining to yellow around the tips and inwards. Is this from over watering? Or do you think its the older ones dying? The ne...

Arctic Palm

It was in a corner of a greenhouse. There was sun but it was under one of those shade things. Like I said, the pot it was in was very very tiny for a tree this size. Also the dirty was dry as a bone. I had not been watered in a long time. I crushed up a palm spike and sprinkled it around the base an...

Arctic Palm

Hello all, This is the large christmas palm I got for really cheap. I got it cheap cause it was in the back of a greenhouse and neglected. I was wondering if you cold take a look and give me some suggestions (fert, water, anything)... It was in a 12" pot and the roots were very packed in. The s...

Hey Barb

It's a adonidia palm or a Christmas palm. It was severely neglected at the greenhouse I got it at. It's such a beautiful palm but it need lots of TLC. It is supposed to be much much greener and way more fronds. Maybe by the end of summer I will have it looking better!!!!

Arctic Palm

The trunk looks like a christmas palm or adonidia. But I am not sure.

Arctic Palm

That gives me hope, being in a 6a as well....so all he does is wrap the trunk? No crown protection? No nothing?

Arctic Palm

There ones I got are near Hamilton

Arctic Palm

They are $75.00. About 6 feet tall. I am coming to North York in the Next few days if you would like to meet somewhere.

Arctic Palm

there is a place near Hamilton that has nice coconut palms for sale if you are interested. About 5-6 feet tall.

Arctic Palm

This one leaf went all funny on my banana. Does anyone have any ideas?

Arctic Palm

From what I have learned, you must plant the coconut with the stem facing up (the stem is where the coconut was attached to the tree) . Bury about half of the nut. keep it moist but not wet and always keep it warm..72+ degrees. It also takes a while. I bought I 5 foot coconut tree and it still had t...

http://treehelp.com/search-results.asp?SearchType=1&Keyword=palm+spikes&x=0&y=0 this is the type of fert I am using. The reason I got it so cheap was cause they neglected it in a big big way so I am going to try and nurse it back to health.!! Any suggestions would be great! Mainly yellow...

Arctic Palm

Considering it is one of my favorite palms (always has been) and the fact that the local Ford dealership is willing to house it for the winter (3 story bay) I think it suits me just fine.
It was just meant to be!

Arctic Palm

Could you pass this up for $50.00?????

COULD YA??

Arctic Palm

Laaz,

Thanks, I didn't know if I should use a chemical.

Arctic Palm

Have not payed much attention to this since I got it. Watered and stuff but thats all....I took it in tonight cause the expected frost and noticed some spots...any ideas These are the spots http://upload8.postimage.org/696410/Spots.jpg tips lookin not so good http://upload8.postimage.org/696416/TipB...

Arctic Palm

Those are beautiful, drule!!!

Arctic Palm

The frost is a freak thing for this time of year...very freak, it usually never frosts after April. It is supposed to go down to 5 so there is a chance. I have taken all my smaller and tropical plants in for the night. Just in case. I will begin watering tomorrow as soon as I bring the all back outs...

Arctic Palm

Hey Barrie,

What a pain!! I may have to re-pot it. It's in a 16" pot so it's not huge. I will figure something out. Can you believe after weeks in the upper 20's we are expecting possible frost tonight? They up to 30 by weeks end!! Welcome to Ontario

Arctic Palm

I left my new Bismarck out on the grass for a few days in the warm sunlight. I went to put it in a larger pot and noticed that these little black (local) ants had taken up residence in the soil. Is there anything like salt or anything I can flush them out with or drive them away without having to on...

Arctic Palm

Hello,

I have found a place here that has just brought in a bunch of coconut palms. I am thinking about getting one..or two..or three...They are about 7 feet in height ($75.00) (how old is that?) anyway, does anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!

Arctic Palm

Ok so I have all these palms...now I need to know exactly what I should be doing to feed them right. I have bought palm spikes, I have watered with Epsom salts (is that ok?)..I probably water too much, I water Mon-Wed-Fri. Everything is green right now and I wanna keep it that way. Is 10-10-10 the b...

Arctic Palm

That is the weather we have been getting for the past few weeks...of course I don't mind the heat, the humidity is difficult but the palms seems to love it. We are supposed to cool off into the low to mid 20's for a while so that will be nice. However, if you are getting it now, we will be getting i...

Arctic Palm

Oh my wife enjoys them as well, she thinks they are very beautiful. If they were free then she would like them even more, know what I mean?

Arctic Palm

This is great, I can show my wife your pics and tell her I am not nearly as out of control as she thinks I am...I wonder if I can sneak some more in...hmm!!

Awesome collection thats for sure!!

Arctic Palm

Regardless,

Those of you on the west coast in those 7 & 8 zones are lucky. Thats my kinda winter!!!

Arctic Palm

I was surfing the web and found out that a little place called Oak Bay is Canada's palm tree capitol. I am sure everyone but me already knew this.
They are a Zone 8b - 9a...isn't that the same as Orlando??

I just thought it was cool!

Arctic Palm

PALMETTOMAN, Hey long time no talk!! Yes I seem to have "the bug". I get a few and then I say, thats it, I'm done...till the next week!! I have all the cold hardys I want, however now I am looking for some like the queen, cuban, christmas. I am also really liking my Musa Basjoo!! A green h...

Arctic Palm

macario,

There is a place here about 1 hour from me that has queens. They are 12-15 feet tall and he wants $700.00. Thats seems like a lot no?
Also, i will have no place to put a queen that size in winter.

See how much the ones you can get are and please let me know.

Arctic Palm

Naaaa, thats only 2 or 3 days drive.

Arctic Palm

Where is this guy?

Arctic Palm

I tried that with a majesty before. I got lots of root but they died. Maybe cause it was a majesty who knows. I have 2 Musa's that have babies and I have been told to wait till they are at least 10 inches high. Not sure if thats the same with palms.!!

Arctic Palm

It maybe be a bottle palm. Just from the description of the base.

Arctic Palm

Cool, it was one of those impulse buys.

Wish I could fine a Queen or Christmas or something like that!

Arctic Palm

I am using top of the line tropical potting soil that holds the water and releases is as the plant needs it. I researched that when I got it. I know these were dug up right out of cold winter storage in B.C. Then they were boxed up and flown to Ontario overnight. Poor things, I don't mind nursing th...

Arctic Palm

These are the Washys I got from B.C a few weeks ago. The old fronds are dying which I know is normal but the new ones are not moving. Also, the new ones are going yellow kinda. Maybe I am just being paranoid. http://upload8.postimage.org/513335/washy1.jpg http://upload8.postimage.org/513341/washy2.j...

Arctic Palm
