Here is my front yard. Hard to tell, but there are actually two "Madagascar Palms" in front of the Yucca. They Yucca BTW is still hanging on to leaves that died this Winter so it looks scraggly. Middle there is a Dioon Edule and beside it a Revoluta. On the side is my "Snowball Verbanium" tree that is smelling "OH MY GOD WONDERFUL" right now.
Later, when the sun moves around, I'll take a pic of the back yard which is full of Cycad/Dioon/Ecephalartos/Palm

Looking good, I like the way you put the pots in the ground. I also like the gravel in your beds. 8)

Wes wow those Pachypodiums have sure grown! Nice
Great specimens, nice layout, looks great with the gravel.
Congrats on your manageable layout...you just need another 50 palms 😆 😆 😆
Great caudex on that big Tait.

Thanks all.
Okie, not that I can think of. I thought about possibly planting in the ground a Washy, but planting it in the greenhouse. But would it grow so fast that I would need to take the GH down in a year or so?

Wes depends on what size Washy your talking about. From seedling stage it normally takes two years under optimum growing conditions to get to 3 gal size they really pick up speed from here as long as they go into larger a size pot yearly. You`ll have a few years before they outgrow your greenhouse. How are those Washy seedlings doing from the seeds I sent?

OKie, three of them I know are doing great. I need to pot them up a size. Thanks so much again.
Laaz, as I wrote earlier and Okie was speaking of, I was thinking of planting a Washy in the greenhouse, actually PLANTING it in the greenhouse. However, now that I think about it, maybe I should go with a Butia which is more hardy and a bit slower growing. What would you think about sending me a good sized sappling and me planting it in the grenhouse? Would it grow well you think?

Butia maybe, Washingtonia will outgrow the greenhouse in a couple years.

Thats what I was thinking. Plus I like the looks of a buita much better.
