Going crazy buying/Growing Palms

[kohwoz]

I've added a few more small palms to my collection....Thought I would show you guys. I bought 1 Blaue Zwerg Chamaerops Humilis plus 2 seedlings. 2 small waggies and one a little bit bigger. 5 Blaue Hesperidea Brahea Armata. Plus i've got 36 washingtonia Filifera seedlings, 13 Robusta seedlings and around 20 seperated Robusta's. All seem to be doing well after sulking for a couple of weeks...

Think i need to calm down on buying more Palms, although i just ordered 1 170cm Robusta and another Waggie...

Think i will concentrate on finding some good Black Bamboo next for the bottom of the garden.

Very nice looking young plants.

Is that a nice beige carpet I see?

You're a brave man if it is.

Wow that is alot of plants you have there And yes you would be dead if you lived with me

If only I had that many windowsills....

I'm not only pushing the boundaries of growing exotics in the UK, I'm pushing the boundaries of space.

Great palm collection! It's addictive isn't it?

Here's a guy in Montreal Canada that is bringing in and selling big palms.

Kohwoz, are you setting up a nursery They will all get bigger. Nice palms though

Barrie, I thought Banana Joe was in Salt Spring Island, down the road from you , or has he moved?

[Las Palmas Norte]

Dave ... Banana Joe is still on Salt Spring Island and has not moved.
Mike in Montreal is an internet contact as best as I know it.
They may collaborate on some exchanges and info.
Speaking of "down the road", I'll be heading over to Salt Spring for the PNW Palm Society garden tour in June.

Cheeers, Barrie.

[Rabbie]

All them Washies, just wait till they get bigger. You will be living out in the shed.

Either single or got the best wife in the universe.
He has clearly got the palm bug , probably already at irreversible and untreatable stage.
Another year and you wont be able to see that carpet any more

Great guy !!!

Yes the beige carpet ain't my thing either Although it's got plenty of stains on it already
Building a new house at the moment, no more beige, perhaps only natural stone floors......

Lucky enough, she ain't bothered at all... Why on earth she liked beige , guess it was in 12 years ago

Very addictive googlebox. I guess i"ll be keeping the best of the best and selling the rest.

[kohwoz]

To be honest Dave.. I have the bug now. Like i probably mentioned before, we have bought some new land for our new house. Over 1800sqm. I've now decided to build my own private little palm nursery and see how i get on. Will keep some of the palms and sell the rest perhaps on ebay etc.
