how many palms do you have

[mushtaq86]

your a dark horse Mushy, fancy your wife being into palms. can we have some pics, and some palm pics too.

[Adrian]

Grown too many and killed too many.
At one point I had 68 different species on the go, everyone does it but you grow out of it.

How many more times? Cordyline ISNT a bloody palm!

[dino]

I'm still fairly new to this so:
3 T. fortunei
1 T. Wagnerianus
2 Chamaerops Humilis
1 Phoenix Canariensis
1 Phoenix Roebellini
4 Washingtonia Robusta
1 Brahea Armata

And what palms have people lost this year?

[redsquirrel]

i briefly lost a parajubaea tvt but vic found it and returned it safely
seems tougher than i gave them credit for mo,a snow laden Dicksonia antarctica flopped over ours last winter but i came through unscathed with no other protection,in a bucket type tub

That is a different topic as we are talking about how many plams we have, not how many plams we've lost

From the original title "how many plams (palms) do you have"

I have about 600 roughly, mostly T. fortunei in various stages. A number of others that are in a garden setting, focusing on the most hardy types.

Cheers, Barrie.

If this was asked this time last year I would have said one Trachycarpus. Since them I've started a collection which hopefully one day (if we ever sell the house) I will plant in a much bigger garden!

1 Jubaea C
1 normal Trachycarpus
1 very stretched Trachycarpus
1sturdy waggy
1 takil
1 manipur
1 latisectus
3 chammies
1 L Australis
1 butia capitata
1 butia eriospatha
1 butia ?
2 small Phoenix canariensis_CIDP
2 washies
1 B armata
1 T Campestris
3 date palm seedlings
1 sabal seedling
plus quite a few more on their way from Amulree

(sorry crappe spellings)

[dyls]

The list:

4 small washingtonia filifera (originally had 10, they are all slowly dying off I think)
3 canary island date palm (good performer, tolerates windy, wet but mild winters well, seems to like rain)
3 small chamaerops humilis (excellent performer, not fast growing but never damaged by our weather, fronds last years and years undamaged)
1 larger chamaerops humilis (about 2 foot of 5 or 6 inch thick trunk, top frond about chest high).
2 trachycarpus wagnerianus (slightly disappointing, just 1 year old fronds look tatty and only grows 6 new ones a year, slower than Phoenix canariensis_CIDP)
1 small washingtonia robusta (the jury's out, only planted last August)
2 cordyl...ahh, they aren't palms, are they
