Last weekend saw the planting of my 6th Needle Palm. It joins 4 Trachys, 5 Sable Minors, 1 Silver Saw Palmetto, 1 Pindo, and 2 European Fan Palms for a grand total of 19 hardy palms. I am not including two Sables which arrived distressed and probably will perish.
I think I may have reached the limit lest Waimea East starts to look over-planted. My domain is not the biggest and there are other things to attempt to plant.
What say you all? How many does everyone have? Have you reached the limit? Or is there more room to sow, other species to try? 8)

No clue! 1000's of seedlings: Still have 100's of fortunei seedlings (from BC), and a bunch of other Trachycarpus too...
Butia capitata seedlings maybe 10 left?
Sabal minor seedlings- 100's, mostly McCurtain, NE texas, Arkansas, 'Delaware', etc.
Other palms, maybe 100 total? Including a small seedling 'Birmingham' which I'm really trying to baby, but it is a WEAK plant!
Maybe 10 different bamboo, 20 or so Rhodo's, ~120 cacti, ~ 10 Yucca species and hybrids, other Agave, Gunnera, Banana, etc.
In ground palms:
2 Needles (1 is a test plant and is on it's last legs)
1 Sabal minor (I've lost maybe 10 total in experiments, only 1 remains)
1 T. fortunei- Probably dead but I'm leaving it to see if it comes back without fungicide...
