Thanks for the welcome. And try at least one in the ground! Are you on bananas.org as well?? Thought I saw you over there as well.

Barb sorry for your loss! I lost a bunch of palm seedlings and most of my bananas this year.

My waggie looks like that. I had it in the house for protection. When I brought it out last month on a cloudy day - went to work out came the sun and fried it. Actually every year when I bring out the trachys a lot of the fronds do that and I have to cut them off. I actually wondered how you guys ...

CTPalm

Welcome Neighbor - I have 4 trachies about the size of yours but I have been wheeling them in the garage for the winter. I gave my dad a small trachy and he planted it and covered with only burlap (no heat) on the north side of his house in Manchester CT and it lived! I have a similar sized Waggie ...

Great videos - did you protect with heat?

CTPalm

Very Impressive! Congrats!!!

Hydrogen peroxide takes care of fungus gnats? It should be obvious, but that explains why my majesty palm doesn't have a gnat problem! (I often water it with some H2O2 mixed in) I'll have to try that with the rest of my palms :D It kills the larvae - so you have to keep watering everything ...

Sometimes I get mold on my soil too. Especially after a few cloudy days in my toasty house even though the plants are in south facing windows. I sometime lightly spray top of soil with anti-bacteria soap and water mixture or Better yet - I periodically water with peroxide and water - keeps the ...

Not looking forward to this. Could be worse than last year. I hope it goes out to sea!

Nice looking bananas! I had no idea that musa basjoos had red on the underside of their leaves.

Paul

Wow Barb tons of nice plants and what beautiful views.

Paul

CTPalm

Wow your yard looks awesome! You are running out of grass areas hahaha. Your trachy is getting huge. I can just imagine the lookers of your front lawn. I only have one Banana (Musa Orinoco) in my front yard and I have people stopping all the time to ask me what kind of palm tree it is and how do I ...

I purchased trachy seeds from him and had excellent germination results

CTPalm

Nice Barb! I hope to keep mine alive long enough to see that one day.

CTPalm

CTPalm

Wow Barb - that jade tree was flowered out like that last year, I didn't even know they did that. I have one that is about 12 years old/ 2 feet tall, maybe someday. Is that Foxtail one of the one you grew from seed? Paul

CTPalm

Cameron - too funny I was wondering what you would do with all those seedlings.

Barb - Didn't you just thin out the herd.

I'm in trouble for what I have too!

Paul

CTPalm

Tim I have a bunch of trachy seedlings in 3" pots that froze solid a few times in the past couple of years (due to wrong weather reports - haha) and they are all doing well. Paul

CTPalm

Welcome home! Love those Christmas palms!! Paul

CTPalm

Thanks Mike you too!

Barb I will try to take lots of pics.

Hopefully I'll find something cool to bring back.

Paul

Igor, very nice plants and super nice library! I didn't notice any books, that must be where you read your kindle. Just kidding! Nice pics - Paul

Paul

Paul

CTPalm

Paul

CTPalm

Ok, you know you're a palm nut when you were actually expecting to see a Christmas Palm! - Still very funny!
None of the palms/bananas stored in my basement are that low maintenance! Hahaha - Great idea.
Thanks
Paul
