The last palm is Date palm. More than likely a CIDP. I would repot it. They are very hardy palms.

The first palm, not the sago looks like Rhapis excelsa (Lady palm).

I agree with Laaz, although the term "hardy" for the Okanagan region won't apply. You're probably 2 and a half zones out of range for Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island Date Palm).

Cheers, Barrie.

Thanks folks, what's a CIDP?
I'll add their proper names to my pics next.

Anybody have an answer to that pic of the old wind-whipped palm leaning, and with roots exposed?

And Barrie, yup, "two and a half zones away" is a nice change from "half a bubble off plumb"...If I may use YOUR phrase, that describes my situation: two and a half zones away from paradise.

OK got it...CIDP Canary Island Date Palm.
Thks. Barb

hehe... Sorry I'm not familiar with the BC zones. I'll have to take a trip up that way (In the summer 😉 )

I'm sure you'd love the Okanagan, Laaz. Our south of the border friends spell it Okanogan in their valley.
But hey, you're in gorgeous country, too. Aren't both Carolinas famous for their gazillion golf courses?

There's only one pre-requisite to visiting: (language) Nice palm,eh? ha ha.

Been quite awhile since I've been around the Okanogan region. I keep saying I gotta get off the "rock" and head inland to re-visit that region. Smokin' hot in the peak of summer but arid. lucky1 you should try some of the desert tropicals that are discussed on this forum.

Cheers, Barrie.

Yup, at 13 inches of rain a year (2 inches of which doesn't even land here because of the wind, ha ha), it's definitely semi-arid. I'll post pics of some of my succulents later, but am afraid to fill up the pipe with images!

Cheers, Barb

Fear not! Post your pics.
Cheers, Barrie.

Thanks for that good advice yesterday to repot...all three were dry as a bone, and the CIDP's stems were very loose.
They look happier already.

Hope everyone's enjoying this nice weather.
Cheers

Barb you will not find any needle palms here in the Okanagan nurseries. I`m sure they have never heard of such a palm 😕 .If you want to buy one here is where I bought three last Oct. Be forwarned they are not cheap. www.millionplants.com

Needle palm 7gal $160.00 Ouch !!! And 7gal Trachy @ $125 ? You gays up north are better off having the palms shipped up near the border & then bringing them in yourself. These prices are crazy expensive !

I can buy a 15 Ft Sabal Palmetto for $125. Yes I know they are common here, but hell those needle prices are just stupid !

Better yet... http://cgi.ebay.com/Rhapidophyllum-hystrix-Needle-palm_W0QQitemZ150082690445QQihZ005QQcategoryZ42219QQcmdZViewItem

OK Desert Palms, looked at that Ontario site...that's probably why I didn't see a Needle during my nursery jaunt yesterday! 😳
Bet your 3 Needles are super, do you have a pic somewhere on this site? Noticed they had a Takil for only $9.99, cheap! Do you have yours outside all winter (zone 6b - 7a)? By the way, Kelowna is 35 miles south of Vernon. How'd you swing those nice zone numbers? 😆 We're, I believe, a 4b or 5a, but you know how interesting zone maps can be. I'm still looking for one that'll show me in Zone 10!

Laaz, you think that's pricey? You missed my price-checks yesterday: 6foot tall Kentia $440. 12-inch pot Fishtail $189.
Your prices are cheap. Get one to the border? ha ha, you've not heard of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, have you?
A palm would flower before we got it through, especially now that Sudden Oak Death fungus has been found in California...Canadian inspectors, I've heard, are turning everything back if it's in soil. It'd be faster to move south 😀

In today's RONA flyer, they've got 1gal pics of tropicals for $9.99 !!!!! and one of them was a palm, I don't know which one.

Yes we pay a lot for palms...and then we pay a lot more just to keep them flourishing!
oops, can't post. Server interruption...

Laaz, just saw the eBay link. A 4-inch Needle for 5.00 (and likely $50.00 to get it here from Texas, ha ha).
No mention that a phytosanitary certificate is included (that can be a long hassle).
I wonder if the Millionaire Ontario site has an eBay store...will look.
