Sorry! New here and didn't know it was wrong to list website.Couldn't find posting rules!!!! I was growing needles and minors 35 years ago (before they became popular!). All my mature seed bearing plants were grown from seed collected personally from Mr. Manley in Stockbridge ,GA over 30 years ago. Thirty years ago no one would even buy a needle palm (didn't know what they were!). Most southerners still don't know! I have finally found like-minded people and they don't even live in my area. I was sincerely trying to put him to a source of inexpensive plants .Sorry!

gpenny, there's a Member's Website forum here:

http://www.palmsnorth.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=21

Rules state you need a min of 10 posts before a website can be posted.

BTW I like your website...and your prices are yet more proof that we Canadians have too few suppliers up north 8)

gpenny, no problem.
Not many folks have websites, so we're always glad to see one!

On the main page, down near the bottom it says:
Member Websites:

Post your gardening related website here for other members to see. You must have a minimum of 10 posts to add your website.

I wish you were in Canada!
eh? 😆

By the way, Wenike, hasn't posted here for a while, so if you click on his "name", you can PM him and send your website.

Hi Lucky
Thanks for the info, I see it now! Even though I'm in S.C. I have a lot in common with you folks, just different species involved. I 'm pushing the window with Washingtonia robusta, Phoenix canerienis, etc. I use the same techniques y'all use to "overwinter" borderline palms. The folks on this forum seem real quick to help others. I'm impressed!

Do those pictures on your website show palms at your place?
If so, they're stunning!
...and a Bizzie 😀

We've all come to the conclusion that no matter where we live, we push zones.
Wonder what folks at the Equator are trying!
😆 😆

Good folks here, glad you noticed.

Would love to see your CIDP (and other) pics.

Yeh, those pictures were shot in my backyard! When we moved here 35 years ago it was an old peach orchard with no trees to speak of. I told my wife then I wanted it to look like a jungle in 20 years. With the pool in the center it resembles "Gilligan's Island now! I've been all over Florida,but have never seen a pool anywhere else with such a dense planting of palms. Most were grown from seeds. I'll try to post a picture in a few days!

Barb
Here's some of the palms around my pool after 6 inches of snow this winter. Though not common by any means, we do get it sometimes!

No worries gp,it just looks bad when old post's get brought back and people post websites.
Hope you stick around 😮 your yard is beautiful!
Did you try the slide when it was covered in snow?-the pool looks warm 😆

Jim
Why didn't I think of that! Actually even though we had snow the night time temps. never got colder than about mid 20's. About 20 years ago I made a vow to swim every month of the year and did so. One day in January I went in two days after the whole pool was iced over! We started swimming this year on April 3rd (earliest ever) with air temps of 90-93F. and water temp of 70F.

Yea,this year has been amazing -
we have already been in the 80s a bunch of times,almost-90-(89)
(probably will be again early next week)a few years ago we didn't even hit 70
until April 16th!

Oh man, what a beautiful yard you have!
Even the rare snow looks fabulous...(I can't believe I'm saying that) 😆 😆

You got your 20-year wish...that's fabulous!

Looking forward to some pics without the snow... 😉
