Happy Canada Day update for July 1, 2024

Wow! Palmetto’s are really good, or really bad. No in between, found that out the hard way. Here they grow natural in the southeast. And they are relatively cheap for size. I got one for free. Dug it up, and I planted it in a decent spot, but it was a place that gets stronger winds than most yards and place. And we had intense heat and rain and then had the spear pull and since it was so large it didn’t recover. Tried trunk cutting it. Looked green, but nothing

[@MarioParty_1998]

Yeah there’s billions of them up around by Tampa and Orlando not as often in Jacksonville or Miami though. Still very possible to grow though!

[@TheJames2929]

That sucks I’ve never seen a palmetto come back from spear pull 😢

I have sabel minor palms here in Virginia and one of my neighbors has two of them and i keep finding seedling up to a mile away from the tree

[@TheJames2929]

Nice

[@derekgriffiths8915]

Sorry if you've answered this question before ... but how do your palms survive the winter in darkness? Because I just got 3 Spindle Palms, which I'm planning to "winterize", but I'm worried how they'll survive 5 months of very low light or darkness.

[@MarioParty_1998]

When will you transplant the little washy?

[@TheJames2929]

Not sure I haven’t decided yet

[@jasoncrawl2692]

Hey James, as the Mexican fan Palms get older and rooted do they still need boxing up in the winter?

[@TheJames2929]

@@jasoncrawl2692 depending on where you’re located I’m pretty sure they are always going to need it

I’m Georgia were you was passing through last year in the hotel in north Georgia
