Jim, the blue on all of the sabals is awesome!
Tim, that's a great trifoliata! I can just make out a couple of oranges. You should try making a trifoliata-ade when they're ripe (with lots of sugar of course)! 😆

Damn! I hope you have room for that jungle that is emerging.
Great stuff. I've done some Cherimoyas myself. One of the easier to cultivate.
Jack, I'm going to have to move a lot of plants outside! 😆

Cameron, I'm sitting here with my jaw dropping at those photos and your successes.
I've never before seen juvenile photos of most of those you're growing.
Really love the seedling Trachies and Sabals!
Those Nannorhops are going to lift the roof.
Had no idea that they would grow so fast.
Well done, as always.
Barb
PS---forgot to say OLE to that P.dactilyfera from Luxor! What a treasure that is. 😀

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
Thanks a lot, Barb! 😆

Hey Cameron, how have you managed through all the recent rain storms?
Heard you folks had 100 mm in two days and lots of lightning?
Send some rain out west please.
Barb

Barb,
After living in NS for 10+ years, I've learned that I just have to try to ignore this idiotic weather, and pretend to pass it off as "normal" like the rest of the population does 🙄 😆 You can take 90% of the rain, as long as you send over a bit of heat!
Here's an updated shot of the Loquats:

Nice growth on the Loquats...those deli containers don't allow much room for roots...maybe that's a good trick 8)
You can have all our heat.
I've had enough already after only a week of it. 😐
Drier than popcorn around here.
Received your PM that seedlings are en route...yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :bounce:
Will post pics when they arrive.
Thank you!
Barb

I think one benefit of the shallower containers is that it's easier to heat the soil, but one downside is that you need to transplant the seedlings soon after, to allow for more root growth!

nice Loquats Cameron! That's one plant I've always wanted to try here.....someday. There's an 8 foot tall Loquat at my parents development in Rockville, Maryland (zone 7a).

What can I say thats not been said already,
So many success' Cameron. I love those Araucaria araucana: they are like little Christmas trees, (first shot.) 😀
And all those Trachicarpus seedlings...wow ❗ ❗
Thanks for showing us your magnificent, mind boggling stock, , and the germinating Images. Never had any luck with hard seed.
🙄
Thanks, Tim! Your parents are very lucky 😆
Zomble, thanks as well! Since you're in the UK, you should try joining the EPS or Growing On The Edge forums! They're very informative, and you'll have a lot more local people to chat with!

I am a member at EPS, also I think GFTE, very rarely go to GFTE.
I joined also Cycadelic I think it was, that was quite new I think...not been there either for a while.
I don't grow tropicals apart from two Cycads and a Trachicarpus but I do like the variety of new people forums offer...their ideas, success, and failures. No Idea how I happened on this one 😀
I usually visit EPS once a day, I signed up then never went for ages. Then John was wondering why not so I started to vist once daily. Not a lot goes on for me, just the odd post I subscribe to. No place to have off topic etc.
My main interest is looking after my Cycas and Trachicarpus so I am learning as I go.
Canadianplant I am limited in what I can grow because my garden/yard is small.
Do you think this is the wrong forum for me Cameron?
😀
