You know it lol

Thanks

Yes, I agree

70 Mile House

@@BananaJSSI I like 70 Mile too! We go there every time we drive down to Vancouver or Victoria!

@@These2EyesDontLie Such a beautiful area and so dry

@@BananaJSSI With how dry it is there, I don't know how it stays so beautiful. You're gonna love it there!

@@These2EyesDontLie Yes, it amazes me the climates of B.C. We are lucky to be in B.C.

Great tip. Thanks. I got this one in Oct 2008 and use it 5 days a week. Also I use free weights as well

@@BananaJSSI At 66, recently retired, I got mine in 2005. To my surprise, the rods still have good pressure. But, like always, more is better. I walk, and use my Bowflex every other day. I had to change the red seat bushing, which cracked. But all in all, it's cool.

@@almc-wi5vo Good for you, that is awesome. You will live longer because of it. Cheers to you

Cheers

To costly for me there lol

I wonder?

Thanks. Cheers

Then my advice to you is watch another channel that can be useful. I live in the high end of zone 8b and often 9a so what we grow here most likely won't grow in your zone. We grow thousands of palm trees here and I am not sure what you mean by scrub palms?. Our oldest palms are near 20'ft tall.

@@BananaJSSI well I think I will thank you

I should!

Last time I was here in Squamish was nearly 40 years ago on my way to Whistler

We will have to wait and see. It was nice to have Thomas visit from Norway

I know , tough place to grow anything is next to a Cedar

Never split them when they are dry or they become rock hard. Always split it when they are fresh cut same as our native Arbutus trees

100% Chinese because the resort where they stay is owned by Chinese and they only have Chinese people stay there. I know that for a fact. Japanese look different than Chinese.

@@BananaJSSI that’s cap

@@MarkMiller304 That's cap? you mean crap lol I worked with Japanese people for over 15 years and my boss was Japanese. I still work with Japanese & also Chinese People. They look and sound different, no doubt about it. Language: Japanese has almost 2,000 years of recorded history and emerged as a result of China’s dominance and the emergence of Buddhism. Chinese has multiple dialects, while Japanese has only one spoken dialect but several written languages. Grammar: Chinese is a head-final language, while Japanese has more complex grammar due to its writing system. Culture: There are differences in social manners, cuisine, and language between the two cultures.

@@BananaJSSI great a larping bud

@@MarkMiller304 That would be a Larfing Bud lol. I have grown my fair share of Bud

Thanks lol

Cheers!

Have to love figs

Must be a world wide chain I presume

Sad now , because seemed like a Ghost town. What happened?

@@BananaJSSI I believe it was set up for the Gold Rush, and had around 2000 people during it. After the GR, people slowly left. Maybe the area is too rugged for much development. Nonetheless, I think some 100 or so people still live there. Whatever happens in the future, it'll always be special to me. You know me & the Fraser Canyon!

@@These2EyesDontLie Yes, apparently there still might be gold there. I remember driving through there when I was a small kid in 1968 on our way to Lytton

@@BananaJSSI And if people keep ignoring Yale the way they do, that gold will never be found

@@These2EyesDontLie I need to take our gold pans there and try in that river

You know it. Farm raised by our friend right down the road from our place. 100% organic & Free range

I put that sign up and I still get idiots that speed past our hidden driveway, mostly tourists

Thanks. Our friends grow them well

@@BananaJSSI they sure do! I have enjoyed watching the videos you have posted of these over the years!

@@alabamatropicals506 Thanks! I haven't missed a day since I started here on YT in 2008

Guaranteed they won't be. The two guys in the Palm Society who lived there moved away quite a few years ago

I bet it was fun

Yes, one of the toughest palms for sure. Love them

Wendy sure did. She love Harleys and use to work in a Harley shop too lol. Married now for 8 years coming up on Nov. 30

@@BananaJSSI she's a keeper!

@@EFFbriskethead Yes indeed she is. You can see way more short videos on her YT channel. Gulf IslandRock

Why? We grow everything here we need to . This island is beautiful, like we are a million miles away from all the bullshit going on in Canada and USA.

It is not mine. I only shot the video

@@BananaJSSIthank you very much

@@rodrigoticotico Cheers

Or just a bad island driver lol

Here is one of my videos that you obviously have not seen. This video is from nearly 4 years ago. You should see how big it is now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/apq9mqxnequliLc

The sky is amazing here at night because when the sun goes down it is pitch black no lights anywhere

When I drive to work each morning 6.2 miles I often see no cars or only 1

Yes

The only place in all of Canada Palm trees can grow year round without winter protection is along the British Columbia coast and our islands. There are palm lined streets around here, watch my videos and you shall see and learn. Here is a video for you I shot in Vancouver of towering palm trees kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYvTY5eHib57nJY

Same with the Oregon coast, but never here

Aloha!

Those are great palms for sure and hardy too. I will send you something in return.

Only in Tofino

Thanks! You are a long time viewer and even cooler that we have met more than once. If you ever come out in Blackberry season you can feast on them

@@BananaJSSI That'll be awesome!

I will bring it in to a cool area for winter , but an area that won't ever freeze

Longest I have seen Livistona survive in ground in Vancouver was 20 years. My friend planted it on Granville Island up close to a building. Here I planted some moons ago in town and they lasted nearly a decade before the shop owner had them removed

Cheers from the Gulf Islands

There are Norfolk island pine skeletons as south as here in Brownsville and ones that have survived the 2021 freeze are pretty pitiful looking and this is the south point area less than 1 mile from tamaulipas they absolutely hate the cold

I only know of one on our coast at my friend Brians place in Tofino. There was once one growing near me for nearly 5 years before it froze. The lady who had it would put a box around it for winter but with no heat

How? I have one in London England the average high is 9c with a low of 5c in Jan it's fine never had an issue with those temps. It's not like a coconut palm. They hate -c temps but they tolerate long cool periods fine.

@@NikauPalmCal Weird. Are you sure your norfolk pine is actually a norfolk? How big is it? Because my 2 ones were turning brown for seemingly no reason after the temps started dropping, so I thought it was because of that. Although they were about 15cm high at that stage. Or maybe I am just getting something mixed up

@@slifer0081 Yes it's 100% a Norfolk island pine and there are numerous others in the UK. I also have the even less hardy new Caledonian pine.
