im not bothering with bananas this year, replacing them with tree ferns and trachys for overhead protection next winter,everything i had below my large Trachycarpus survived with exception of nanarhops ritchiana and one large ferox,a real surprise was the squarosa i forgot to bring in,last years fro...

i had a larger 4 stem one that i dont think is with us any more.looks pretty dead to me

all i can add is that if the roots were dying,the plant itself would look much worse if not totally dead by now.as already said,it needs a warmer drier potting mix,maybe a drop of tomato feed or something similar..palm booster might burn the roots if you found some,its not good for everything

Go for the Rhapsis and get yourself one of those CD's that plays rainforest birdy sounds .

sounds perfect to me keith.no mess,no ties,just a can of water once in a while,and good profit if it grows well enough to repeat the process if it takes off

eey up,i bet she comes from macclesfield, or is it julie the skooly

well i still think its rare and something else. only because i havent had one yet. one of my xanthorrea glaucas flowered 2 years ago,that gave me a real wow feel,wish it hadnt now tho,looks horrid with the dead wooden stump in the middle.

wait til september and the 50% off label will go on.ok you might miss the boat in the meantime but you would be paying a fairer price and have all summer to find cheaper better plants

Jase its a problem with some maurellii, the new rollers start to produce gradually smaller and stunted leaves, these seem to get stuck as they emerge in effect strangling the plant. The only solution is to decapitate the plant below the point that it strangles, once done if the plant is of sufficie...

deb had a good idea,bit late but there ya go.she suggest put some fleece in the split,for the time being anyway and train it to grow two trunks.given time,would grow into a unique talking point

i had about 20 sikkis and up to 10 basjoo of different sizes dotted about.i put most lasiocarpa and maurellis in the garage.only hint of green here is one lasiocarpa which came out of the garage last sunday, 8) , hope i can afford a better greenhouse this year as i dont even have no pups to brag abo...

they didnt bother with the marquee near me last year

trachys are the way forward for garanteed palms edo.so tough you have to be unlucky to lose one unless you go for a known less hardy form. im putting a few more trachys in this year so i have something to stare at other than rotten fried palms next year if the crappe weather returns.i appreciate thi...

Darren, I bet there are many more poisonous plants in your garden that you didn't even know about. Many common garden plants are poisonous. Ricinus just has a bad rep thanks to russian spies. Many of us who grow them have pets and children but not one of them has dropped dead yet. i can imagine mos...

not allowed them here,too many four legged friends in and out

it wont take long col,i plonked one down resting against a low wall last july,it is quite firm now
