After advice from anyone. I have five Champerops in the garden and all seem to have been blighted by black/brown spots. Some really badly. I've had someone suggest this could be a fungus brought on by the cold damp weather in spring. Is this correct and is there any way to prevent it any further? Wo...

I was at B&Q this weekend and picked up a 6 ft plus chamaerops (1.5 ft largest trunk) for £60. Not sure if they will be the same in other stores as It was way bigger than the rest they had at the same price. I'm guessing they go by pot size and this ...

... this one or grow it? no doubt it looks just the same as the normal CHAMAEROPS HUMILIS. Can't find much info on the net apart from simons description: "CHAMAEROPS HUMILIS var MACROCARPA A very ancient variety of the European fan palm first described in 1882 and has fallen out of favour. This ...

Hi All,

I'm in the market for a mature Chamaerops humilis (poss cerifera), at least 1m of trunk (maybe 1.5m). Anybody got any good places to purchase from (good also equals nicely priced). I don't want to go overboard on price but want a good sized tree..

Cheers
Ben

Germany has since April 2013 a wild herd of European bisons in the Rothaar Mountains. Those majestic animals get more and more reintroduced in their former range! The Rothaar Mountains are certainly not a primeval forest, far from that. Its also ...

Here a youtube video of European bison living semi wild in an nature reserve close to Zandvoort. And also not far from Amsterdam. Its quiet unique you have these primeval animals in one of the most densely parts of Europe living semi ...

I've noticed my big Chammie Arborescens in its 160ltr pot has roots trailing out of the drainage holes.

Will it be ok to trim these off? its on the patio right now as we move in a few months so im drying to keep the pot dryer as its blooming heavy.

Last tuesday I went to a naturereserve not far that from Amsterdam where they have reintroduced the European bison in 2007. Its an area of arround 300 hectares where they live. I did see a couple of them in the far distance. Awesome animals they are! Hopefully in the futur ...

Never had a palm spear pull yet, so this will be my first, it was only bought in April, so its been through a really hard summer of great temps and dryness :lol: :lol: Pup looks mighty green, probably as the plant is sending all its energy here now... http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p645/blackfe...

... torrential rain..! However, I did manage to get across to the island of Vulcano, and saw the Chamaerops growing naturally there....and they ARE the Chamaerops Vulcano variety. So "Chamarops ...

After seeing pics of Amulree's stand at the Hampton Court Flower show, I remarked on the well groomed appearance of the large Chamaerops in the display. It put mine to shame so decided it needed a tidy :wink: This evening after work, I decided to tackle the unkept trunk 2013-07-26 17-13-20 ...

Well after another call to simon at Amulree it was arranged that my palm would be delivered this week. Well today was the day!. Luckily for me the lorry pulled up just as i was about to pop out the house, the delivery guy jumped out his cab and shouted 'hey mate, you aint getting this in ya garden l...

I'm doing well this year, first time i've had palms flower 1. Cordy in May 2. Chammy Vulcano in May 3. Chammy Humilis in June icon_cheers I only planted this recently after I bought it from homebase! http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y438/grapevine777/20130613_204228_zpsea781d70.jpg ...

I need some advice please. These three palms have only been planted out for a year but looks like I'm going to have to dig them up and pot them for a short while before planting in the ground again. I'm not sure how these will cope as I've never dug and potted one up before. I'm thinking the Chammy ...
