Wow 905, that's truly a labour of love...very impressive.
Thanks, at least I don't have to deal with the spines of a CIDP like Nashville does.
How fast do the root grow, even in a pot?

I potted a 3 gallon 2 yrs ago into a 24" pot and now the pot is warped. If it was glass it would have busted. I had a pindo in this same pot for 4 yrs and it never did this. The pindo was a 7 gallon when I potted it. The biggest difference the pindo palm grows above the soil and the CIDP doesn't seem to.
CIDP roots are incredible, both in volume and size/length of "fleshy" white roots.
My old CIDP has been root-pruned, I think, twice with about 50% of roots torn off when the tractor strap broke from the weight.
Recovered nicely both times.
The last time was last summer when I planted it out.
Again, half the roots were cut off.

How's the palm now Barb? Once planted, did it grow quicker than in a pot?

Planted it last summer as it was going into serious decline from having been in pots for eons. 😆
It put out 3 or 4 new--but small--spears by the end of summer.
Didn't do bugger all until then.
Probably recovering from its (again) loss of 50% roots.
I'm hoping for massive growth this summer.
If it survived winter in its plastic teepee.
There's so much snow on the teepee plastic, gotta wait until it's melted to even peek under an edge.

Thanks Barb, the snow will melt soon enough, and I'm sure you'll be happy. I'm only asking because I might plant mine in a garbage can like you did... once it grows lol
But I'll take your advice and keep it in a pot for a few years..

Impressive Nashville, and welcome! 905, that's some bigtime protection there

There are lots of pot sizes before you get to a garbage can 😆 😆
My CIDP is in the hottest windiest spot on my south-facing acreage.
It loves to bake in the heat and wind, with lots of water.

Barb, I will be as anxious as you are this spring when you uncover your CIDP. I plan on planting one of mine this spring but want to learn what I can from your experience.
Pics..as soon as you can this spring.

Thanks Scott.
Think I've totally screwed up posting topics (again) 😆 .
Can't remember if you've seen these pics I just posted today on John's topic: http://www.palmsnorth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5728
I had better not get my hopes up too high.
There's a 50/50 chance the CIDP is toast.
