Sorry I haven't been around much. Work has been extremely busy. Still have quite a bit of garden that hasn't been completed. But I'll show a little bit of everything.

Pindo in the photo was trunk cut back in early April.


Thanks for looking,

Chad

    Very nice pics! Everything has grown so much this year. Those bananas are huge and the palms are getting big too! Your palmetto looks really nice. It is definitely starting to get some trunk on it now. The Butia, Trachys, and med fan palms look nice too!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks guys,

    Alex, it seems that the over abundance of rain and lack of severe heat has really helped some plants. Just not sure whats going on with my Palmetto in the front yard. Its not growing like I would like.

    Bradleyo, imagine most everything in my yard gets protected by a frost cloth or a plastic pot. The possibilities are endless: )

    Thanks Jim. Yep, that's my smallest prince beside the building. If it makes it through the winter, I'll be looking for a really good spot for the larger one. I'm really surprised by my EE's. I guess its the rain, since they are sort of water plants. However my black EE's are sucking this year.

    Those black EE"s can be a pain,sometimes taking for ever to get going and than pltttttt.

    The year we had serious the flooding all the bananas/EE's,tropicals got huge!

    You just can simulate that,maybe come close if you can irrigate.

    Jim, I guess I will be hoping for lots of rain every year. Cause irrigation is out of the question.

    Jacklord, I can only hope. I still have 15 seedlings that I havent photographed. And over a hundred agave and cacti to go in the ground.

    Beautiful pics! Where did you get your Brahea from? I've been looking for a decent sized one for a while for a good price but still no luck. They seem like great palms.
