A video of my potted palms

Post by Okanagan desert-palms » Fri Apr 06, 2012 11:07 pm

Here is a video of my collection of potted palm trees. A few will be planted this year as I need to make room and they are root bound. Most of the larger Washy`s will be sold. I love this time of the year! 8) It`s all good until I start digging the holes for the planting! :x

John, what a great tour of your specimens.
And are they ever nice looking! great color and sizes.

What a lovely way to arrange plants for sale in groups for a purchaser to come in and select.

Beats rows of stuff like most nurseries do.

Those blue palms and yuccas are soooooo nice.

Thanks for taking the video :D

Thanks Barb. This is a hobby nursery so I like the fact it is more casual than all the palms in rows. With the warm weather now people will thinking palms and bananas.

Barb I still have all the bananas in the palm garage :lol: The BOP if it keeps growing like it is I`ll have to cut a hole in the garage ceiling soon! They will all be coming out in the next week or so.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Thanks Aaron. Barb the BOP needs to be transplanted this spring. It is only 1 ft 1/2 from the ceiling now. I might have to lean it over his fall to make it fit. :o

Any chance it can get a featured spot indoors with a higher ceiling?
The back of the garage seems so...well...like punishment for the BoP.

I'm surprised at how many palms and other tropical and desert plants you have there in containers. They are all looking really well coming out of winter.

Thanks Mike. We have only got to 28c once so far this spring. A cooler than normal spring usualy means a scorching 40c summer 8) . Thanks Jim and Tim for your comments. Dylan I really should have a greenhouse for all my palms, bananas and tropicals that can`t be planted. Some day soon gonna happen!
