Chamaerops humilis help!

Thanks.

All five of mine seem to get it quite badly, even on the previous years fronds.

I'm giving a hydrogen peroxide mix a go to see what happens.

Seems to be a common problem. Has put me off Chamys a little, maybe because mine are quite badly effected.

Thanks for the reply.

I've had someone suggest a hydrogen peroxide spray, so I will give this a go on the worst effected plant.

Chamaerops humilis help!

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...

Looking to plant it in a corner near two tall fence panels, which should give some protection. I wouldn't say it's an overly exposed location but can get cold at times.

Thanks for the reply. I'm in Nottingham, so probably a bit cooler, but they sound a lot hardier than I though. Sounds like they are worth a go. icon_thumright

Brahea edulis

Hi.

I've been slowly trying to create a tropical garden for the last couple of years and have an empty corner that needs filling.

I've seen a nice Brahea edulis for sale on Hardy Palms and wondered if people have had much success with them?

I'm based in Nottingham for info.
