Where to Buy Palms Online in Spring 2024
this is my first year with them and i did string. it was such a pain to tie them up and they’re still not really tied very well
Small string is hard. I also use the wide tree tie material and still do
Good ideas. Thanks!
You're welcome!
That is so cool! Thank you for this recommendation! Very helpful. And I really appreciate knowing what size and where to get them
No problem
what's the coldest your garage gets?
Like 50F
awesome job. thanks
Thanks for watching!
Looks like Marokumo Nishiki ( Camouflage), one of several variegated varieties. It was my personal gateway plant to “exotic “ landscaping years ago
Thanks
Impressive! So do you think that the growth rate of this palm is caused by the distance from the house? It looks like around 2 feet from the house, right?
Full sun is key along with water/fertilizer
@ thanks
Howdy again. Do you experience, when planting near the house, that the roots automaticly seek the heat and growing that way?
I am not sure about that. I don't think that happens though. ua-cam.com/video/7P2VyIGTLdE/v-deo.html
@ Thank you. I got around 2 degree celcius higher temp around 3 feet from the house, than I got 10 feet from the house. If I plant closer, say 2 feet. Other than the looks, will it be a problem if the fronds touch the wall? I see alot of videos where it looks like the palms are planted around 2 feet from the house. The overhang is 1,5 feet so it will clear. Or would you go 3 feet and give some space for the fronds?
@@peterjuulsgaard They could make a noise inside house during wind and will get beat up a bit. Once it reaches overhang you'll have to bend fronds manually from over to under overhang as they droop or cut fronds strategically. My rocket palm is planted close to house and hitting overhang if you have seen it in my vids. ua-cam.com/video/un0O0tfCKos/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/9QyAds7FRfc/v-deo.html
It will take roughly 4 feet to clear fronds from wall.
@@tntropics thanks for the answers
So glad it survived!!!
Me too
Чувак садь очень классний слов нема ...!!!
Thanks
Это пальм морозо устойчивий ??? Или как ..?
Down to about -15 C
Доброе утро чувак он виглядеть прекрасно !!! Так держать
Thanks
Fingers crossed that’s the lowest we go this winter 🤞🏻wishful thinking at this point 🤣
It's possible
My queen palm has been surviving below 20s with no protection
Not bad
Should do great!
I'm going to let it go colder in future years when it gets bigger.
Wow, It did good. Those are hardier than I thought.
Less than 20F starts to damage them
Glad to hear she s ok , here's to a continued mild winter🙏🌹♥️🎄🌴
Beat up but still kicking!
Nice!
Thanks
Good one! New sub here🎉 I live in Denmark Scandinavia zone 6B maybe 7A. And I got several Fortunei’s I want to plant out this coming spring. They have approx 3 feet trunk and scales around 4,5 feet in all. I want to plant on the south side of the house, close to the wall. I’m wondering: would it be a good idea to give the palm an angle, so the roots are even closer to the house, but it will stear it self better around the hang-out (overhang) when that time comes? Or will it simply straighten it self again? Or is it better just to plant straight up?
Thanks for watching! If planted at a angle the palm will resume vertical growth going forward making a bend or curve. You probably need to plant the palm so the trunk portion will clear the overhang and at least 1.2 meters from wall if you want fronds not to touch wall. Here are also temps I rec to protect at. ua-cam.com/video/nU3amwiG5U8/v-deo.html Here is my full Windmill guide ua-cam.com/video/cOOhgmWnqRA/v-deo.html
@ Thanks, so it’s kind of a trade off, I guess. Thanks for the answer. I already saw the links👍
Wow! Thank you so much! This helps my husband and I so much. I really appreciate the links too.
You are so welcome!
Незнаю как вас звать ? Но у вас влеколепний садь мене вот это пальма очень нравиться .. чем кормите ??

You can rent a small scissor lift for a very reasonable price, especially if you only need it for an hour or two-it’ll get the job done, trust me. If you explain what you're using it for, they might even find it amusing and offer you a bigger discount. Better yet, if you tag them in your content, they might feature your reel on their social media too! full day is 150 on average in Tennessee and I am sure you can get a half day rate.
Yes seriously! Will it fit thru a 5' gate?
Wow your palms look great! How old are your Washingtonias now?
I'm not sure I bought them fairly big
You're getting colder than us
This arctic air keeps spilling in central US
@tntropics That's not good. Hopefully not a real bad freeze. We've been in the low to mid 20s every night so far
Fingers crossed🤞
Thanks it will probably get beat up we have 14F forecast now
I live in Morgan County, East TN... I'll be putting some lights and a frost jacket on my windmill here in a few minutes... Calling for 15 degrees here near Wartburg too!... Got this palm to 6 feet in 2 years and 4 months from a 5 gallon palm. I don't wanna take any chances in case we dip lower.
Doesn't hurt for sure. leaving my windmills all unprotected except wrapped in lights as I always do.
Hopefully it’s gotten big enough to reach max hardiness!
Welllll idk
What's max hardiness like 14 degrees or so?
@@vistaprime Maybe but fronds start getting damaged under 20F I added a fan to try to blow the cold downward air off it to help.
you got this Tn Tropics - same forecast for the plateau
We'll see
How cold tolerant are majesty palms? I’m in Mississippi in zone 8b, I got one this past summer and planted it in ground (because the majority of palms aren’t houseplants) and I currently have it wrapped, it seemed to be taking the cold pretty well, but I went ahead and wrapped it up, just to be safe
I think mid 20’sF prolonged cold may beat them up
Are the Sting A Long lights wrapped on the trunk under the Frost blanket or on top of the Frost blanket?
Under the frost cloth to hold the heat. You can use any brand that is outdoor rated and 40watts per 100 strand
Thanks!
how heavy of frost blanket since they range from 1/2oz to 4 oz? Also, do you leave the blankets and lights on through out the winter? Live in San Antonio Tx area and we have wide fluctuations of temperatures through out the winter months.....
@@BA-i7k I use a wifi outdoor plug to turn on when temps drop and you can put them on a thermocube. Go to my channel and look through the palm protection playlist.

How do Sabal palms reproduce? Are they hermaphrolites or they need 2 plants of different gender to reproduce?
Just one plant
You’re the “Bob Ross” of cold hardy palm videos with that voice. Please say… “ we have a happy little palm right over here” in your next video.
Hope that's a good thing :)
Nice video! I'm Hoping My Butia and Sago make it with my protection method!
Yep it's getting cold!
From experience during the 2021 freeze here in Houston the mule palms didn’t completely burn when it was 14° with snow and ice so yours might hang on a bit longer
Well we are going to see I have a 15F forecast now
All your palms look good
Thanks so much
@@tntropics no problem
Great video! That sabal Louisiana is amazing!
Yes everyone loves that one
Great video and information. We both need some warmer weather
For sure
Palms are great for christmas decoration thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking a look
Can I use that code on eBay at Teddy’s nursery
Yes you can, I just asked him and he said to make sure to message him on ebay to get the free minor
Great info as always.i am following your advice and I am leaving my sabal minors uncovered till about 5F
Thanks
Kirtland, Ohio Vic here TN. Thanks for the Ohio plug. I finally got all of my Trachys covered just before the lake Erie storm came in leaving six foot of snow in areas along the shoreline. I am in the snow belt but am lucky we received only a foot of snow. Another storm coming in off the lake Tomorrow night. I spent all of last week getting the palms boxed up and electrified with heat and temp sensors. What a work out. I added a new member and had to build a five foot high box for the Sago Palm i planted in ground this summer. First time i am experiencing with a Sago Palm in the Ground. I noticed in all you vids that i do not recall seeing an inground or even potted Sago. Any thoughts on inground protection or just planting a Sago in ground and then protecting it any advise? Thanks TN.
Thanks for watching. I don’t have a sago and I am not real familiar with their needs. Wow that is a lot of snow!
Your protection setups are nice and neat to boot
Thanks
Hi Tn Tropics, a winter wonderland about 100 miles ENE of you with a low of 22* and a inch of snow. Thanks for clearing up a few myths. This time last year we were in the 60*s and mild.
I wish we had 60's!
@@tntropics Give it a week or so
Thank you for all the great information tons of Blessings to you 🙏🌹♥️🤗🇺🇸🌴🌴🌴🌴
You too Jose
what is variety on 6:20??? it is gorgeous!!
It says in the video - Pink Starburst

I planted a sabal minor in zone 6B back in April. Night time temps here have started dropping below 20 F, which is unusually cold for this time of year. Do I need to cover it when the night time temps are below freezing, or can it be left completely uncovered until about 5 F?
How big is it? Generally you should be able to leave alone till 5F
@ it’s still small, only about 4 or 5 full sized fronds on it. It had 2-3 fronds when I planted it.
@@tool0414 I would wait till closer to 5F. If you need ideas to cover let me know and tell me how tall
@ thank you for the advice! I built a 2x2’ box for it out of 1” foam insulation. I built the same for my juvenile windmill palm and I have been covering that below 25 F as well and also put string lights inside the box. Hopefully that’s a good set up. I’ll start leaving the sabal minor uncovered then. Thank you for the all the great videos and advice!
Zone 8b pnw, my sister’s house just a few miles from me is zone 9a. I want to try a mule palm up here. How do they do in cold winter rain? We don’t get very cold too often but have a lot of rainy days in the low fifties mid forties most days with a little above freezing at night.
You won’t be able to grow a mule without keeping out of wet every winter. It will rot for you i believe. Trachycarpus are perfectl there
