Hi Chad,

your nana trunks are huge!! 😯

Thanks Tim, those things are growing like crazy too. Got home the next day and they had grown 3" over night. Even my musella lasiocarpa is starting to pic up speed. Just hoping now that my Siam Ruby takes off. I just replanted it on Sun.

I hope your Siam does better than mine..I had a 3ft trunk and it died over winter..puped out 4 and they died off..pupped out 4 more and were going strong..took it outside on warm day now every leaf is drooping and turning yellow don't know if it will even make it to plant out. I left my musella out all winter with a bag of straw over it. rotted the top 6 inchs. cut them back and I have a new roller pushing. those nanas can take some cold.

Mike, looks like my Siam is putting out a new leaf. my musella pupped like crazy last yr and i managed to root some. That has to be my favorite. looks like my musa veluntina rotted. It got transplanted late in the season. But I have extras of that one too. 😀

Just thought that those of you still getting blasted by winter would be glad to know that spring is on its way.

First inflo is always a good sign.

Weeping Cherry and Willow are beginning to celebrate.

Im so excited Im goin naners.

How long does it take to get a palm tree to flower? Just out of curiosity.

okay where did you find that Trachycarpus naus? I want one my is taking forever to grow.

need to get me a veluntina. I have some seeds but they never did pop. Have a small dwarf red and a dwarf orinoco begging to go outside right now.. nanas palms and elephant ears make up a good chunk of the garden fill in plants.

IPN, I bought my minors as 3 gallon blue pots. And two yrs later they bloomed. Last yr they had 3 inflos each. My trachy nanus, and princeps came from ebay. My Takil and waggie came from PDN.

Mike you really need to get you musa velutina. For me they stay around 8' but bloom every year. And I got me a hesper palm today 😀

Chad, what's a largest Agave at the center of a first pic? I have the same but a little bit smaller.

Igor, that agave I believe is A. potatorum. I really need to post a photo on another forum for id. But according to my agave books Im pretty certain. In about a month it will have a full rosette. most leaves hav e dropped due to poor light.

Thanks Chad but I don't think so. Agave potatorum illustrated in Greg Starr book looks different.

There are several variations. If I had my laptop I would post an old photo from last summer. Its not that potatorum has a definite shape. Because the illustrations in the Irish book are all different than in Gregs. But Ill post a photo for Greg and a few others to look at. Because I would like to now for sure.

Chad,
That B. armata is sooooo nice; great size.
Obviously well grown.

Great shot of your beautiful stuff.

Barb

that hesper is awesome..don't think it would do well for me here since I like things to go in the ground and stay...Its a must ai order a veluntina I need some neon pink bananas in my yard.

Thanks Barb and Mike, I was really surprised at its size. So much so it was in the ground within 15 mins.
