Is it still growing good? I live in zone 8 Nc and am contemplating trying to grow it here and protecting it around 20 degrees and below
I know that garden. I believe it was featured in HPI many years ago. Awesome palm jungle
Did you plant the jubae pups around the big one?
Stunning collection
Dave - I moved to Kirkland in the 90's and I knew where every palm tree was back then. You're garden is amazing! Have you ever tried growing a Canary Island Date Palm? Also, are there options to install some type of soil warming technologies? I'm just wondering if you've tried to grow anything from a Zone 9 & 10, just to see if you could do it? Thanks again for sharing all of your hard work!
That’s crazy I wonder if they would do well in the uk
What a cool property...great job on the landscape design, very impressive!
That is awesome how they’re planted in rows by the side of the road. When they get tall itll look amazing
How did that queen handle the snow and ice we had in February?
@@JLthe123 20F covered
Brrrr. RIP
It survived just fine. Had a few burns on some fronds
@@davealvarez5985 Oh wow! You must be a Zone 8. Have you tried chamaedorea microspadix? Those Palms may do well in your area.
@@QarsherskiyMountainGoof yes. 8a/8b. Chamaedorea microspadix and radicalis do fine here. Some Brahea

These are mostly windmill palm trees right? Are there any Mexican fan palm trees there? Considering planting a few outside my house in Seattle
I saw an apartment in Everett have some mexican fan palms growing outside ill see how theyll hold up tho because they looked to be just planted
Damn this is awesome 🌴
Thank you. It was fun to build
Some very cool Trachycarpus crosses there along with a great selection of other genus for the PNW coastal region. A well established palm/exotic garden. Thanks for this vid.
Thank you. It was a amazing garden to build. And thriving today.
Would you say this is the mildest microclimate in the Puget Sound area?
Where did you get the rhapidophyllum hystrix? I can't seem to find them to order without paying an arm and a leg.
Great stand of plants there. What happened to that trachy at 2:54? At 3:28 is that just a Butia capitata or is it crossed with something else? The leaflets are so long. Are you 8A?
That is a chamaerops at 254. Butia capitata at 328. 8a8b
How is the jubea doing with all the Washington rain?
You can see recent pics @ NW PALMSCAPES AND EXOTICS. I has gotten some girth in the trunk. Not much on height
This whole area is great for gardens!! Mild winters permit a range of plants, including palm trees, and the sunnier weather of Seattle encourages flowering plants, and even cactus.
So true!
Thanks Dave, I love that palm house on 3rd NW
Thanks for posting this. Lots of interesting plants not native to the Pacific N.W. Wondering how they are doing in winter of 2020. Are they still thriving?
How do those survive so well there? I live in South Carolina, just south of Charlotte, North Carolina, and even though the weather here is warmer there aren’t many palm trees
Most of these will do fine there. I have friends and family in Augusta, GA and Anderson, SC. They all have palms. Sabals, Needle, Windmills, Chamaerops, Butia (Maybe) should be fine there. Maybe mule palms, Jubaea and other hybrids
Seattle is actually the same, if not warmer hardiness zone than most of the carolinas, the west coast has a mediated climate because of the pacific influence.
@@chinesenoodles8005 Seattle is definitely not warmer than the Carolinas
@@dc5v529 it is, in the winter, not the summer.
@chinesenoodles8005 it's not in the winter either, at least if you look at coastal Carolinas. Inland is a different story. Seattle, however is less prone to extreme cold temperatures in the winter, despite on average not being quite as warm.
I like seeing palm trees here
Dude, amazing stuff! I have a cool garden in Issaquah. I would love to see that space sometime and get tips.
Thank you. That is a private garden I built in Kirkland. See me page on FB. Give me a call anytime with questions. facebook.com/NW-Palmscapes-And-Exotics-2020951271561121/
Looking good, Dave 👍🌴
Thanks Edi. Stuff still coming back.
What were the low temps there? Two consecutive nights and one more a little later down to 11f in Mt.Vernon an hour north of you
Are you growing Spanish Moss?
For about 4yrs. Took it in this past February because I don't think it would have made it But before that......was just the damn birds.
Nice garden. Are the brugmansias hardy and reliable planted in the ground?
Thank you. No. They come in after the 1st freeze burns them and go out prior to winters end to burn the greenhouse leaves off. Maybe a brief 28F. But not long.
Frost protection I used Potassium, Phosphorus and minor elements to my tropical fruit and it seemed to work. My Tropical Obsession posted on: southerspirit4life (Tropical Fruit Tree Experiment) I think that’s you may be on to something. I researched it and found this information 3.3. Potassium and Low-Temperature Stress Cold stress inhibits plant growth and development, which results in limited crop productivity. It affects plants by directly inhibiting metabolic reactions and indirectly influencing cold-induced osmotic, oxidative and other stresses. The effect of increasing K+ applications on yield and cold tolerance studied by Devi et al.[92] in Panax ginseng showed that a high K+ concentration activated the plant’s antioxidant system and increased levels of ginsenoside-related secondary metabolite transcripts, which are associated with cold tolerance. Cold stress may destroy photosynthetic processes and reduce the effectiveness of antioxidant enzymes, resulting in ROS accumulation [66,93,94]. K improved plant survival under cold stress by increasing antioxidant levels and reducing ROS production [7,92]. Greater frost damage in K-deficient plants is related to water deficiency from the chilling-induced inhibition of water uptake and freezing-induced cellular dehydration [95]. A significant negative correlation was found between frost damage and leaf K concentration, and an adequate K supply can effectively increase frost resistance [6,8]. Bogdevitch [96] found that oats that were supplied with sufficient K could survive late frost without obvious damage, whereas much of the crop that was grown on K-deficient soil did not survive. This finding could be attributed to a regulation of osmotic and water potential and a reduction of electrolyte leakage caused by cold stress [8,97]. High concentrations of K+ protected against freezing by lowering the freezing point of the plant’s cell solution. Furthermore, an adapted cytosol K+concentration is also essential for enzyme activities that are involved in regulating frost resistance [8]. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3645691
Dave. Hopefully not too much damage in the garden come spring. Wishing you good luck.
Finding a little damage. Will do another update in a month.
Hi Dave, I live in Kirkland. Do you know where I could buy a Helens hybrid banana tree in the area? (I saw one in your other video)

@@davealvarez5985 Thank you! I'll def be ordering this year!
Goodness! I just visted Seattle December 10 threw 17! As a Midwest lil girl, I really enjoy palm trees! I haven’t ever really seen palm trees very much until I went there! So for my birthday I asked for a windmill palm tree. You can keep them inside in the cold winters of Midwest, and take them outside during the hot summers! I may have grown up here in the Midwest but I’m only 11. I believe that when I’m older I’m going to move to the west cost. And all I want to do is travel as a young girl! I didn’t know there was much palm trees in Washington! Thank you for the video!
That was quite a blow - took down part of a big cedar in my yard ( Mt.Vernon). I was wondering if you ever posted video of other area palms? I am thinking specifically of the Jubaeas at the arboretum. They looked great last time I saw them, but I never see pictures of them online
I do. Check out my page. There are recent pics of the area. facebook.com/NW-Palmscapes-And-Exotics-2020951271561121/
I was wondering where I could find some Needles, and Sabal minors. I live in the auburn/federal way area.
I can check. Please PM me facebook.com/events/431856400647582/?ti=cl
Would you send me some of the Jubea pups?
@@edialbert8035 Jubaea only will produce more plants by seeds and never offsets. They are nice palms
im very impressed gorgeous landscaping!!! im in southwest Washington state and a viewer doesnt believe me that palms grow here... lol
Can moringa trees grow there?
Emmanuel Méndez Martínez maybe but not likely. It is a zone 9 plant. It might survive for a few years. Tender but will flower at least once here.
💚🌴
I think you are in the PNW Palm Society. I'm sure I have seen pics of this garden years ago in HPI journal. I just shared this video to several of my garden groups
BananaJSSI I am also. I built this garden for another member Barry Powell in Kirkland
I know I have seen it before more than once. It would be in one of my HPI journals. Been a member for 30 years now
You must mean the late Walt Rockfellow in Seattle. I joined in 1988 . I use to do the cartoons for the very early Editions of HPI . I have done some articles as well back in the day. 1990/91 I was president so possibly we may have met at some point. I went to the Seattle palm tour in 1997
Great climate and awesome palmy garden,. Our island is approx 100 miles north of Seattle so we grow a ton of palms & exotica
@BigfootSquad BWPP Cheers
Can I do a tour of Your Garden for my Tropical Seattle instagram page. I share tropical and desert plants and Gardens in Seattle. I would love to start doing garden tours. You have quite the diverse array and are definitely pushing the boundaries for PNW Gardening. Lukearmit@gmail.com
Any chance that large Jubaea is a hybrid? I have not heard of those suckering before.
Michael Bennett possible. I think it is more likely seedlings that grew at the base
Dave Alvarez I wouldn’t mind having some of those big seedlings
Dave Alvarez i live in Dallas. They’ll thrive here
Would you give me the names for the edible banana tree, all of that hardy citrus, and how you taking care of them to have fruits? Especially the citrus, I've never seen its got fruit or survives outside when grew in Seattle. Thanks!
Helens hybrid is the edible banana
Wow your yard is incredible. How do the Butia Capita fare in the winters here in Seattle?
Great, depending on drainage and location
Cam TY. It was a clients yard I built.
