Growing palms and tropicals in cold climates

Hi everyone. This is my first post seeing I joined this forum 5 minutes ago. My name is Dan and I live in southeast Michigan. I have been a non practicing plant/garden nut for awhile. I was turned on to Cold Hardy Plams back in December after coming across and article on the internet. I love plam tree's and tropical plants. In fact I love most plants. I placed a few orders online for some palms. So far I have 2 - 3 foot Dwarf Palmetto's, a 3 foot windmill palm, a 1.5 foot windmill palm, 3 - 6 inch needle palms (young ones), and about 10 windmill seeds planted in containers. I also have a 7 foot windmill palm, a 2 foot needle palm, a 4 foot Pygmy Palm, and a 2 foot Dioon Palm ordered and being shipped for next weeks delivery. I will have a lot of questions so please bear with me.
Welcome to the forum Dan. 😀
Regards,
Jay

Dan,
Do tell me how that Windmill from Paridise is. I was thinking of ordering from there as well or TyTy Nursery. Good luck with your new palms and take some pics.

Mark,
My 7 foot Windmill will be here today. Being shipped through Fed ex freight. I will post a pic after I get her. I have an order through TyTy right now. Have not received it yet. I read some bad reviews about them. I have a Pygmy Date Palm and a Dioon Gum Palm coming from them.

Tyty ? Good luck with that. They are known thieves. You would have been much better off going through one of the many other mail order sites.
Welcome to the forum BTW.

What nurserys in the states have a good rating?

There are a bunch of nurseries in the states that have excellent reputations... One of the best is certainly PDN, though I think they mostly have small plants...
I've heard NOTHING good about TyTy... Sorry... Hopefully they've gotten their act togather after all the negative publicity! Anyone know what happened to their page on Garden Watch dog? Oh, and the owners of TyTy also run a bunch of other nurseries (under different names, but with the same cheesy pictures...) that should also be avoided.
Cheers,
Paul

welcome Dan. great group of people here to help with your cold hardy palm questions. I'll start off with a piece of advice . PLEASE do not run with scissors. It can be very dangerous if you were to slip and fall and jab yourself. (know what I mean).
Kent in Kansas
where it's cold in winter (always)
and hot in summer (usually)

Hey palmmandan welcome,
Everyone on this board is very knowledgeable and friendly. I live just north of Toronto and love everything tropical, especially palms.
Thanks
