Thanks for your advice. I’ve planted lots of windmill palms, Chilean wine palm trees, citrus trees, pindo palms and many more in British Columbia Canada on Vancouver Island and zone 8 b . Plants are all young ( cheaper) so it’s inspiring to see your beautiful garden
I planted some seeds couple month ago. I've got my first one sprouting out of plant pot now
Good stuff
Thanks Kirs. Perfect timing. I've just put a six foot TF in the ground in full sun that has been pot bound for a number of years. I have high hopes that it'll put on the same growth as the super market one I picked up 5 years ago that's in semi shade and has already reached 8 foot to the top of the leaves. Keep up the interesting informative videos!
Great video again Kris! I see where you said you cut the suckers off your Chamaerops in the ground. Could you do a video on how to do this without harming the main trunk next time you do it please? I've not found a decent video which makes it clear yet.
Cheers
Love watching your channel its amazing how palms grow so well in North England. All our best to you and to your gardening from sunny Palm Beach Florida. 🏝
Great video. Trachycarpus fortunei are fast growers here on the Gulf Islands of Canada
Great video Kris really interesting 👍
Superb!
Just got round to watching this Kris, a really interesting vid, great points and well put together! Here's to a great summer of growth in 2022!
I've got a good feeling about this summer. Think we're in for a long hot year!
@@YorkshireKRIS I'd like to see that too! Hopefully more sun as well rather than the grey warmth we seem to get a lot.
👍
Great collection what is you absolute minimum temprature in winter?
Have you tried a Parajubaea in your Climate?
Minus 8⁰c although in 2010 it dropped to minus 10⁰c! I have a Parajubaea that's in a pot that lives in the greenhouse over winter
Brilliant video. Love the information, pictures and the really helpful comparisons. The jubutia growth rate is so incredibly slow 🐌 😂. My chaemarops similar fast growth rate up here in NE uk👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
The mexican fan palm is a fast growing palm it gets i new leave every one and a half week
What would you say is the best palm to grow in shade? North facing garden which is quite bright but has no direct sunlight??
Nothing truly thrives palm wise in the UK in full shade. That being said, chammys, European fan palms grow surprisingly well in the shade and would be the one I'd try.
@@YorkshireKRIS thanks for the advice kris that’s just what I’d hoped you’d say👍think I’ll have to find one that’s not to small as it probably won’t grow much in the shade . Great video and thanks again
@@YorkshireKRIS what about Chamaedoreas?
@@joezimmerman1089 yes these are very good for shade but I don't feel they have much presence like most palms. They have no bulk if you know what I mean
This is exactly the video I was looking for for so long now! Thank you! I take there's no chance for Canary Islands Date Palm to succeed in Wakefield? 😄 I'm still hoping for the best here, in Derby!
5 years and counting for my Canary island date palm
i have a canary island date palm in manchester this summer will be the 3rd year in the ground and its doubled in size its around 5 ft now i just tie string round the crown to protect the middle of it in the winter months
From Derby, and can confirm that my neighbours have a 8ft tall canary date palm
8/9ft CIDP in Redcar, north Yorkshire
Happy to report, that mine didn't make it even in the greenhouse and covered with extra fleece on the colder days. I won't be trying unreliable exotics in my garden anymore as my garden seems to go a couple degrees below forecasted temperature anyway. So I've just replaced CIDP with a 'waggie' and called it a day :)
Thanks for posting this update. Palms add so much to your garden. May I ask how you will deal with large dead leaves when these trees become beautiful tall specimens? Will you leave a ‘skirt’ of them or will you cut them off? I assume with your trachies and jubeas the leaves are persistent enough that there will not be a danger of them falling?
I'll cut fully dead leaves off I think. Looking forward to them growing large.
@@YorkshireKRIS It seems you may not have that long to wait.
A very informative video about growth rates, Kris. I noticed you have several palms planted in gravel beds. Was there a specific reason for doing this ? How does it affect the palms ? It must be difficult to fork in fresh compost and fertilisers into the soil beneath. How do you manage ?
I apply some blood fish and bone in spring that works its way through the gravel no problem.
OK Thanks. I have to rake my gravel away as I use compost then push it back after forking in.
Do you have clay? Is it OK to expose some roots underneath the trunk? How large is your spectacular property?
Yes i have heavy clay soil but I've improved it a lot
@@YorkshireKRIS Excellent. I guess chicken🐔 manure and compost can help with that
My windmill palm was kept in a pot for 15 years and stayed about 2 foot tall. Two years ago I removed it, and planted it in the garden….but it still refuses to grow. I get fresh fronds and it looks healthy, but won’t ‘take off’. I shall remove surrounding grass and see if it helps.
Plants that have been in a pot too long often struggle when planted out as they still "think"they're constricted
Hi Kris
Do you ever cover your Brahea Armata with fleece etc through winter? I am based near Bristol but wondering if I will need to buy anything to protect it. It is in the ground
Thanks
I put a plastic shelter over it in winter when it was far smaller and still put fleece in the crown if heavy snowfall is forecast
@@YorkshireKRIS thanks, I guess I will look into making some type of shelter as a precaution. The plant is around 120 tall and was planted out last week , newly bought
Thanks
Hi Kris, can you recommend any garden centres in Wakefield that sell palms? I managed to get a Trachy from Horticentre at Middletown. Now I'm looking for a Jubaea Chilensis. How about Hampsons or Carr Gate garden centre?
Never seen a Jubaea locally but seen a lot of the rest from time to time locally including at hampsons.
@@YorkshireKRIS cheers. I'm avoiding the Phoenix Carianensis as I had 2 last summer and they didn't survive the winter.
Hi kris. My brahea armata is looking pretty nasty at the monent. Its very brown and crispy on most of the leaves.not sure if the drainage was good enough so moved it to a raised bed. New frond looks ok and no sign of spear pull. Could this be the issue or could it be something else. It started last year so not a winter thing. Just want the big blue leaves back.
Hi Danny, sorry to hear it. Did the problem happen after you moved it? They really resent root disturbance.
@@YorkshireKRIS no i moved it afterwards because I thought it could have been the heavy clay deeper down where it was. Its now in a higher well drained raised bed. It is still growing as the new leaf it was pushing out is getting bigger since i moved it just not sure its gonna be dry and brownish like the other leaves
Hi thanks for the video, we have just bought 2 Trachycarpus Forteneii ,ive just potted them into a bigger glazed pot about 300mm deep and 600mm wide ,the palms are about 1200mm hi ,will the grow fast or slow if i keep them in pots ,and will i need to cover them in the frost ? We are in the south west UK Thank you in advance 👍
They'll be no need to cover them in winter unless we get extreme cold for more than a week like in 2010. They'll grow ok for a while in pots but will do a lot better in the ground long term
@YorkshireKRIS thanks ,I don't want them in the ground as I don't want them to be near the house as we only have a small back garden ,I've just noticed white powder on the centre stems ,is this anything to worry about ? ,thanks for your help 🤘
Hi, What's the best feed to use for trachycarpus?
Generally in the ground they find everything they need but I do use blood fish and bone in spring
Surprised you don’t have any waggies. Am I right in thinking that generally they are a bit slower growing than fortunei?
They aren't that much slower really. I have plenty of waggies and other palms around the garden.
Where is your mule palm and do you have no Washingtonias?
My more tender mule palm died during a winter, same with my Washingtonia. I've a more hardy mule palm in a pot to plant out though
@@YorkshireKRIS
I have a mule palm in a pot but I’m not sure of the parentage so probably not santa caterina. I am in Sunderland a few miles from the coast. We have some unprotected cidp and washies here that seem to be doing well. All of them post 2010/11 winter though. I protect my washy and cidp.
No waggies ?
I've got plenty in the garden
Never plant them around Eucalyptus trees. Eucs suck the life out of them. Our 100' ft Eucs we ended up cutting down and now the palms are happier
Yes Eucalyptus suck out all the water from the ground
@@YorkshireKRIS Yes, they are the worst to grow things under
