Here's an update on a few of the palms growing my garden. Many of these are tropical, but some are not!
My flamethrower palm is about to open up a new frond. It's been 10 months in the making! Gaussia princeps is looking fabulous too!
My Chamadorea microspadix is in recovery mode after sunburn earlier this year. I got a deep discount on the Queen palm. It'll overwinter in the garage!
Things are getting crowded by my needle palm. If you look closely to the right, you'll see my Trachycarpus latisectus

I thought I lost this Trachycarpus fortunei after it's protection blew off during a very windy 3F night. It survived and so did the Daniel Weeks Hedychium!
The Sabal minor is looking great! Totally flawless after last winter.
My largest Trachycarpus palm in my Long Island garden is growing well after its first winter. As of writing this, it has 3 new fronds with a 4th on the way.
My Rhapis palm was planted in the ground in my yard in Florida 6 years ago. It survived temperatures down to 20F and it's exposed to at least some freezing weather every winter to this day. The Adondila palm stil looks rough. It's a rescue from the clearance section last November

My Old Man Palm (Coccothrinax crinita) hasn't grown at all. I am a little worried about it! (photo from July 21)
This Bismarkia was also a clearance rescue, but it looked pretty good when I got it from the nursery.
I've struggled with my Arenga engleri since the first day I bought it. It looks like it might be getting it's footing though after 6 years!
I'm not impressed with the Cycas panzhioluta I purchased from Plant Delights. It was a healthy plant, but I was just hoping this hybrid would be a better performer. I got it a year ago and it's only flushed out 2 new fronds (and unfortunately those new fronds look terrible).
My Panama Hat palm is alive, but not well just yet. I'm hoping for at least one new frond before the weather cools down.
