Here it is in the ground Last September before I dug it up.

I think that these are correctly named.

Thanks for Looking,

Dylan, those are great!

I like young palms.

Despite your cool weather, I bet you can grow many species in the ground there. I'm pondering gardening in Oregon. Obviously Tracy do well. What else likes the climates out where you live?

Currently I'm in zone 9b/10a so many things can be grown here. Kentias do well outside in most areas of town. There are lots of Washingtonia, Kings, Phoenix, Chamaerops, Queens ect here. I will be moving up north in a month or so to 9a/9b and a lot depends on how close to the coast you are. W filifera does well inland but not well on the coast. I have seen W. robusta and Phoenix canariensis in Southern Oregon in the Brookings area. I even spotted at 15 foot tall avocado tree(the owner did not even know what it was so it was unprotected but not fruiting) and assorted fruiting citrus in the Brookings area. The problem up North on the Cosast would likely be all the rain and wetness for months on end during the winter. Butia and Jubaea could probabbly be grown if the wetness issue was resolved somehow.

Very nice collection!

Never see a better bonsai Washy in my life!!! 😆

Sure thats a Washy?

I thought it was a Butia originally before it went palmate so it could be anything. Only time will tell, but it grows very quickly like Washingtonia. I know it is not W. robusta as those come us as weeds and I see small ones everywhere.

Here is a picture of it in September of last year:

Great shots, I saw them on PalmTalk as well! 😆

It's good to see that you're taking advantage of your zone!

Nice cycads, and loved the palms also. 😀

Love your cycads. they are always a plant of interest for people who aren;t really even plant enthusiasts. Where in CA are you?

Definitely not a Washy but an interesting and lovely palm for sure.
It will be very interesting to see how it turns out!

I'm currently in Santa Barbara about 100 miles North of LA. It does not get cold enough to kill much plants yet not enough summer heat for anything to grow much either. I'm in a cold pocket as well. The Apple tree does well, but not so well for the tropical plants.

Someone on palmtalk mentioned that the so called Washy may be a Brahea.

Great Kings that you dug up (from the neighbor?), they look very good.

What a great selection you have.

Oh to be in your zone...but then we'd be trying to grow Cocos, right? 😆

You'll find the Dioon spinulosum loves to winter indoors, with no ill effects from warm/dry living conditions.
Mine is currently very sunburnt.

You're moving in a month?
Hope you're taking all those beauties with you.

Thanks for the update.
