[@tntropics]

Thanks Jose i saw you are busy getting your's ready for winter

[@JoseRamos-jn6ij]

@@tntropics almost there my palms grew so much I have to build extenders on a couple of my palm boxes 🇺🇸🤗

[@garciamario5436]

All of your exotic collection is beautiful they all grow fast for you despite your location zone

[@tntropics]

Water and fertilizer help

[@Dimi.Exotic.Garden]

Hopefully you can save the mule palm...🤞 It's beautiful, good luck my friend 👍

[@tntropics]

Thank you I hope so

Looks great TN, it's really incredible how your palms look all the way up there in Tennessee. Your Sabal Louisiana is real nice, I favor that Sabal because of its large foliage. You mentioned you lost just one palm this past winter and that was a Louisiana, I guess this is another one and this probably totally defoliated and came back looking like that? Wow.

[@tntropics]

This one was protected this year with a cover and a spotlight. Yes I had 4 Louisiana now 3. The others are smaller

Love this segment in your journey of Tennessee palm culture. If only I was a 1/2 zone warmer I know I would have better luck. In 30 years of growing palms, I always lost my big windmills in Tennessee because they grew too tall to protect but I never lost interest. You have some nice Sabal palms too but your Butia and Sabal Louisiana are magnificent. Thanks for spotlighting these and of course your Mule Palm is historical.

[@tntropics]

Yep I have one Trachy that I am going to let be on it's own this year except one strand around the spear maybe. Thanks for watching and supporting me

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Glad the mule is number one!

[@tntropics]

I know you like that one!

[@ShoeTELEVISION]

Man I love your collection! Hope to check it out in person some day. Looking forward to the winter updates

[@tntropics]

Thanks and come by any time!

[@richf_tropical_garden_projects]

wow that trachy fortunia is a proper rocket, thats some incredible growth in such a short time, i planted 30 palms this year of different sizes can wait for them to take off! great garden and palms youve got there

[@tntropics]

Thanks for taking a look. And 30 new palms in a year--awesome!!!!

[@richf_tropical_garden_projects]

@@tntropics haha yeah really trying to build the structure of the garden, have gone with mostly trachys fortunia of various sizes most with a 1 ft trunk and a few with 4 ft trunks and one with a 6ft trunk, also added a 7ft butia oderata, small waggy x princeps cross and trachy princeps cross, a few washintonia robusta and a few chamerops hummilis, should be all hardy in my area of the uk im in zone 8a-b, this year going to add loads more tree ferns, already have 4 but they are such cool plants in my eyes, very prehistoric looking, not sure if it would be hardy in your area, but do you have any tetrapanax yet?

[@tntropics]

@@richf_tropical_garden_projects No tree ferns won't make it here. The tetrapanax would but I don't have room. All those are great palm choices for you.

[@richf_tropical_garden_projects]

@@tntropics ah yes i didn't think tree ferns would survive that far north without being in a permanent heated green house, the tetrapanax do grow big so space is definitely a consideration! ah thanks they seem to be some of the best palms suited to the uk climate, although i would like to try a sabal as well as a jubea, but the sabals are quite hard to source here and the jubea arw mega bucks 🤣🤦‍♂️

[@tntropics]

@@richf_tropical_garden_projects Sabals take a lot of heat and would grow really slowly there I think.

[@Palmguy24]

I like #3 the best and right behind it #2. They all look great though. 👍

[@tntropics]

Yea #3 is the best Trachy. Thanks

[@Palmguy24]

@@tntropics It just looks amazing and out in the open it's easier to appreciate. I meant to ask how close to your house is the rocket palm? Thanks.

[@tntropics]

@@Palmguy24 2-3 feet

Hello friend I remember you post good deals of mail order palms and I thought you'd like to know eureka farms has $10 silver saw palmetto. Bet they're tiny but worth investigating. I'll probably get a few this spring if they're still available Happy growing 💗 🌴 ❄️

[@tntropics]

That's a good price for sure but I just looked and those are real small ones as you said. They have large ones for $119

[@Ghost-dz4fl]

@tntropics and they have other palm species! I need a job!

[@kennyjackson1707]

I’ve had a hard time finding Sable Minor Louisiana here in North Carolina. Any advice on where I could buy one that’s a decent size.

[@tntropics]

Go on facebook and search for Teddy's Nursery. He has seedlings of my Louisiana for sale. They are relatively small I don't know of any others offhand. Tell him TNtropics sent you

[@mikemillson9572]

I am in Jackson, TN, and I have a terrible time keeping my Wind Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) from freezing down to the ground and below, even when I do my due diligence in covering and protecting during our often very cold days here in west TN in Zone 7b. How in the world do you keep these from freezing out in your area of TN?
