Laaz,
Great pictures, I wonder how hard it would be to dig out the suckers?

Hi Dean. The suckers are not coming from below the soil. They are coming out between the fronds...

Hello Laaz,
I guess, I was refering to the last picture. Multiple heads, that would be a wierd looking palm though, I have seen a picture of one before. Now, I understand what you mean about the "deformed leaves".

Suckering is the natural habit for these palms, however some folks prefer to remove them and have a single trunk. Nice healthy palms there Laaz!
Cheers, Barrie

Cool! Weird!
It'll be great to watch this, Laaz. Pls keep updating pics.
With the size of those needles, are we sure it isn't blood, ha ha
I recall reading about a frond deformity that "resembled a ladder, where tips stayed connected up the 'rungs'."
It was due to a mineral deficiency. Which one, can't remember.

Nice palms.
This species is suppose to be one of the hardiest in the Phoenix genus.
I tried some seeds but they didn't germinate.
I wonder with some protection from winter rains and on the coldest nights if it would survive here. My coldest temp so far this year is -3.2C.

Hey Wes ... I found them easy (P. theophrastii) to germinate but much more difficult to keep alive with our cold humid winters. I started with about 40 and today I have 4 remaining that have grown on to 2 gallon sized. I think I may have sold 3 others along the way. The growth spears pull and rot down in our winters, with the small exception here.
Cheers, Barrie.

Even with overhead protection they won't survive?

Wes ... these never see a drop of rain or a flake of snow all winter. Humidity alone seems to be the culprit. Perhaps a copper fungicide regiment would help, but as I stated earlier, for some unknown reason these few exampes are fine, at least for now.
Cheers, Barrie.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
