Thanks Barb, I thought it was about time I got more of a hardy palm for my zone. The house is already full of tropicals.

How did you know I was going to ask?

Congratulations on the flush. Sorry to hear nothing with your King Sago.

If I were you I would either e-mail or call him. He is very knowledgable and has great cycads.

OKay, I watered it in really well. I'll add some cow manure to. How many do you have?

I want to order some more.

These are some hybrid seeds I got from, Mr. Chumley. They are Cycas Taitungensis X Guizhouensis and have already germinated.

My new Cycas 'Nova Wilailak'. I got it from, Robert Chumley.
He said, that it was 8 years old.

I love the foliage on this one. It's definately palm like.

This photo is of it potted.

Not for me!

Dean W.

Great looking yard!

Do you let all of your bananas stay outside overwinter?

Dean

Dean W.

It says, "this photo is currently unavailable".

Dean

Dean W.

Thanks, I'll have to look into it.

Dean

Dean W.

Okay!

Dean W.

What is CHC?

Dean W.

I was wondering what you all use for potting soil on Cycads

I have some Dioons and Zamias that seem to be staying to wet after recent rains.

I'm thinking of adding more perlite to their soil. Is this is a good time of year or should I wait tell Spring?

Dean

Dean W.

Thanks, Todd!

Dean W.

I found some! 1000 for only $650.

I better save my lunch money.

Dean

Dean W.

I'm looking for seeds of these. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Dean

Dean W.

Okay

, you should be able to get lot's of different palm seeds then.

Dean

Dean W.

Dean those should do very well for you in central Texas. They sure look like the W.filifera of the Sabal species.They have very similar characteristics except growth rates IMO. Where in central Texas are you? John Hey John, They do look like W.filifera of the Sabal species. I have read else where t...

Dean W.

Wow, that was quick!

Did you have that list on the top of your head? I e-mailed Robert Chumley so hopefully he will respond soon. Thanks for the list.

Dean W.

I was wondering if anyone could help me make a list of cold hardy cycads for zone 8b?

I'm thinking of ordering some seeds and I would like to know what is hardy in my zone besides Cycas revoluta.

Thanks,
Dean

Dean W.

Randy,

Welcome to the forum.

Where are you located?

Dean

Dean W.

Okay, I'm going to wait tell spring though. Everyone seems to think Spring is better.

Dean

Dean W.

Hey Barb,

Did you think you had scale

In Canada, I amazed, it could happen though. Did you seperate the pup in the first photograph? I have a Sago that hasn't flushed this year either. Were they root bound? Sorry for so many questions I'm just curious.

Dean W.

I must be getting old beacuse I shoul have thought of that. I think I will go after dark in dark clothes, forget about the doughnuts and just dig up the whole row. :lol: Seriously I believe in eating doughnuts not giving them away. Yes, you can do that or take cuttings off of them. :lol: Save the d...

Dean W.

Congratulations, Barb, looking good.

What are you going to do with all of them?

Dean

Dean W.

thanks for the response. I did fertilize on June 1 with a Jacks 20-20-20 water soluble fertilizer that has boron .02%, copper .05%, iron .10%, magnese .05%, molybdenum .0009% and zinc at .05%. sorry I did not mention that earlier. It seems almost like it has been burnt by something. I don't believe...

Dean W.

Wow Kent, those are some great pics. Alot of work digging them up and putting them in a greenhouse every year. I'm not sure about the bushes you were talking about.

Me too, I guess I didn't plant mine to deep after all. Maybe just right would be better wording.

Dean

Dean W.

Kent, the roots did not fill out the entire pot, but they did have long roots. Yes, those are one-gallon pots. I'm hoping mine will survive outside here in zone 8b. I looked at a couple of sites and they said they were hardy to 8b, so.
