| Hey everybody, Im just curious to see how many of you also use the Palmtalk forum? For those of you who haven't heard of Palmtalk it is a great source of Palm knowledge and is full of friendly experienced and novice gardeners. I would highly recommend becoming a member, its free and easy! While i enjoy this forum very much it can be very "dead" sometimes. :( |

| Great site, but very focused on tropical palms. This site seems to be more geared more toward hardy palms and cooler climates. |
|
| Some of us overlap with this forum: http://members3.boardhost.com/HardyPalm/ It's very active and informative, but has the drama and rivalries of The Real Housewives of L.A. This board, while quiet at times is far more supportive and genial. |
|
| I agree,great site but as mentioned,very tropical in it's discussions.....this one will light up when the weather warms back up-cold hardy as it is..

| Hi Since 95 percent of all palms are tropical in origin Wouldn't it sort have to be centered on tropical?? lol gary |
|
| The hardypalm forum looks interesting but I signed up and verified the automated response and they still haven't given me access after 24 hrs. |
|
| When I signed up for hardypalm, same thing happened. I had to email them to get it done. |
|
| Be warned, Lago! There is an ugly Virginia Beach/Norfolk vs Atlanta rivalry on that site! |

| I'm not on palmtalk, but I am on the hardy palm board. It's a nice board, takes a while to get used to and gardenweb is better at archiving messages, but the hardypalm board is more active especially in the winter time. -Alex |

| Looks like Palmtalk just started a forum dedicated to cold hardy palms. Most of the posters over there are from California and Florida, and not many of us. Might be nice for a few of us to post our trials and tribulations on that site too. Show those palm growers in places where it's not a challenge at all a thing or two about how to really grow some palms. |

| ".........Show those palm growers in places where it's not a challenge at all a thing or two about how to really grow some palms........" That's the thing with palm growing, it can be a challenge anywhere, depending on the species you're trying to grow. I'm forever fine tuning conditions but have still lost a number, with others still just hanging on. |

| Interesting the amount of cold hardy palm poster on this forum.... I check in there sometimes but can't always relate much to the types of palms on there... |
