- Hi all,
Welcome back to this video of planting my Dasylirion wheeleri... (Mexican grass tree or desert spoon)
Due to circumstances, this video is online earlier, you can see why that is at the end of this video...
I bought it last year in 2023, and now planted in 2024 @ Belgium. (Zone 8b)
Hopefully you enjoy watching this...
Also many different subtitles are now available for this video!😉👍
Many greetings & fun from Belgium ! 😎

💯 ❤ Beautiful
Thank you Mario 🙏😊
Very beautiful!
Fantastische exemplaar! Mooie plek ook in de tuin. Geniet er van!
@@TropicalGardening Thanks, ja ik vind het zelf ook erg geslaagd 😊👍 Hopelijk hersteld die snel nu na de mislukte bloei zodat die weer mooi kan groeien...🤞🤞
Great job Dimi , looks spectacular.
Thank you Dave 😊
Yes, I like it too. The perfect place for this specimen.
This plant may become more popular, it is definitely recommended 👍
Beautiful ❤
Thank you 😊👍
Hello Dimi. A very beautiful Wheeleri. A little tip from me. Check the heart from time to time where the new leaves are produced because of woodlice or earwigs that eat the young, fresh leaves and can cause rot. Greetings from a Swiss exotic plant fan.
Hi Mirco, thank you very much for this good tip. 🙏🤜
I didn't know that yet, so I'll definitely keep an eye on this.👍
Many greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
Der Beste Garten EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Danke Adam 🙏😊👍🫶
Wow looks fantastic your hard work payed off from uk
Thanks Janine 😊👍
Great video, the Dasylirion looks great in that position a worthy successor to your lost Butia.
Thank you. Yes, indeed, this one should certainly work. 😊👍
What a great video! Thank you for sharing, your videos are always inspiring, interesting, educational and honest. Firstly, so sorry to hear of you losing the Butia. I too lost a Butia after the winter of 22/23,it wasn't as large as yours, I didn't protect it, I was over confident. I replaced it with another Butia and bought 2 more as insurance, and so the growing commences all over again..
The Dasylirion is an excellent choice, it's beautiful, almost the same size as your Butia. I was looking forward to seeing the flower spike, I can't think why it died, it looks like it was cut off. I have a Dasylirion in a pot for 3 years now, I'm a bit too nervous about planting it in the ground. It's sat on the gravel path, I may convert part of the gravel path and plant it there, along with the Rostratas. I noticed you planted it in mostly grit and lava, again very wise choice. I looks beautiful, love it.
❤
Thank you very much Maxine, that is nice to hear. 🙏😊
Yes, Butia is indeed a shame. It's kind of the same story as my Washingtonia. The Butia had outgrown its box and I had not built a bigger box yet. That's why it wasn't sufficiently protected in recent winters, with all the consequences... So my own fault.
Luckily I have another Butia that is still beautiful👍
Yes, the Dasylirion is indeed beautiful and also very frost resistant. The flower stem was broken off and not cut. I think the wind was the cause after all. The day before we had heavy gusts of wind... Hopefully you can experience the flowering yourself with your own specimen.
Lots of planting pleasure and greetings 😁
That's a lovely specimen Dimi, i have one albeit a lot smaller, and in a pot i very rarely water it, The leaves are so vicious though, yours looks great in that spot, shame about the Butia
Thank you Mark 👍
Yes, I just bought this one because it was so nice & thick, and the price was nice too. Sometimes you unexpectedly come across nice things and you shouldn't miss that opportunity... 😉
The leaves are indeed terribly painful, all small saws...🙈
But also so beautiful. And the good frost resistance is another bonus.
This plant should certainly become more popular, because it is definitely recommended for zone pushers. 👍
Yes, the Butia & flower from the D. wheeleri are both a shame indeed...😔🤷♂️
Sorry about the Pindo but this tree looks amazing! Great job. Now I want one too. I would need to protect here in New York like my palms.
Hi Tim, Thanks.
I know the feeling when you see something new from another enthusiast. 🙈😇 Dasylirion longisimum is the most beautiful and is about the same in terms of frost resistance. Dasylirion longisimum will certainly also return to the garden here. (I lost 1 last year)
They can handle a lot, they just suffer from a lot of moisture. So keep it very dry during the winter and then you will certainly succeed. I also have to protect it, but it rarely or not needs to be heated here, just keep it dry 👍
They are strong & beautiful plants, definitely recommended for zone pushers. This plant should definitely become more popular 😁👍
could have been a squirrel if you have them in your garden, i occasionally get them take a frond or two off my tree ferns
I don't think a squirrel did this here. They don't come into the garden or neighborhood here at all. But I like the idea, I hadn't thought of that yet.
I still think the wind was the cause. The day before we had a stormy day here...
It's a shame, but unfortunately nothing can be done about it 🤷♂️
Wieder mal ein super tolles Video 👍. Möchte nicht wissen wieviel Geld in deinem Garten steckt 🫣😃💪🏻
Vielen Dank 😊
Ich habe fast alles klein gekauft, also habe ich nicht so viel Geld ausgegeben, wie man vielleicht denken würde. Natürlich sind viele Palmen heutzutage sehr wertvolle Pflanzen, da sie mittlerweile groß werden. 😇
Darum versuche ich meine Palmen so gut zu schützen. 👍
Have you considered washing off the nursery soil completely and replacing it with a coarse soil? Root systems on Asparagaceae generally regenerate very well and I would think it would do better without that ball of nursery soil underneath. Most of the large yuccas and dasylirions had their roots cut at some point to fit into the pots they're sold in.
@@Tony.795 Hi Tony, well spotted. 👍
I didn't tell it in this video because I don't want too much text in the video to keep it enjoyable to watch. But I intended this in the first place to rinse the clay off the roots. (That is indeed the usual practice here.)
But when I removed the pot I was surprised by the amount of (healthy) roots. I didn't want to lose these roots by incurring too much damage when rinsing in combination with the weight of the plant, etc...
I did have doubts. But I have faith that things will turn out fine. The first 10 cm below the soil surface the trunk is completely clay-free and almost pure lava gravel. Many roots will also come there etc...
The high hill also gives me even more confidence that the remaining clay will not cause any problems. 😊
I know they can easily do without roots etc... But still better to keep good roots as much as possible. There were already so many good roots outside the clay ball, so that made rinsing complicated...
Hallo Dimi
Vielen Dank für das informative Video!
Freue mich immer wenn man noch etwas dazu lernen kann 😊!
Ich habe vor 4 Jahren einen Wheeleri ausgepflanzt. Auch er hat eine ca. 3 Meter hohe Blüte geschoben was sehr interessant und anmutend aussah. Leider dauert es immer eins zwei Jahre bis die Yucca oder Grasbaum nach der Blüte wieder gut ( eine neue Krone ) ausgebildet hat.
Wünsche Dir viel Erfolg mit der Pflanze. Mich würde auch später dann noch der Winterschutz vom Wheeleri interessieren ?
Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ( Hessen )
Torsten
Hallo Torsten, vielen Dank.
Ja, ich weiß, dass es jetzt mindestens ein Jahr oder sogar 2 Jahre dauern wird, bis es wieder schön wächst. Aber zum Glück ist es schon schön, also ist es nicht so schlimm 😊
Ich werde mein Dasylirion mit einem Käfig wie meinen Palmen schützen. Damit es immer trocken bleibt, was das Wichtigste ist. Der Käfig hält lange (langsames Wachstum) und ist zudem schnell aufgebaut. 👍
Viele Grüße
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden wie machst Du das im Winter mit dem Käfig ?? Kann mir gerade darunter nichts vorstellen?
Ich schütze unseren Dasylirion im Winter nur von oben mit einem kleinen Regendach. Das hat bis jetzt relativ gut funktioniert.
Lg Torsten
@@palmenwustengartenhessen9092 Hallo Torsten,
Ganz einfach, vier Pfosten, Dach auf und Seiten geschlossen. Genau wie bei all meinen anderen Palmen...
Für eine gute Belüftung bleibt immer eine Seite offen. Es schließt sich nur vorübergehend, wenn es einfriert.
Hier ist ein Foto eines Beispiels: i.postimg.cc/V6mJ8Jm4/hok.jpg
Привет Дiмок ты как дiзайнер хлопчiно 😊❤
Спасибо 🙏😊👍
I don’t know this palm at all, but with a name like that, I’m picturing a symmetrical, pinwheel habit of growth.
Thank you very much Cheryl. It is not a palm, but a grass tree from Mexico. Also called desert spoon in Mexico. Nice to hear that you like it. I love it too. Many greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪👍
fantastische tuin! wat zijn de afmetingen van de tuin als ik vragen mag?
Dankjewel 😊
De tuin is 350m², 10m breed & 35m diep.
Sehr schöner Dasylirion, habe auch einen ähnlich großen vor kurzem ausgepflanzt :-)
Ich bin auf die Blüte von deinem Dasylirion gespannt, meiner lässt sich damit noch zeit. Wie alt wird dein Dasylirion sein?
Danke Manu.
Ich habe meine letztes Jahr (2023) gekauft. Ich würde also nicht wissen, wie alt es ist...🤷♂️
Wenn Sie mein Video bis zum Ende angesehen haben, werden Sie feststellen, dass die Blume abgebrochen ist. Deshalb blüht meine leider nicht mehr.
Kann ich Ihr Exemplar irgendwo sehen?
Großartig, Dimi 😊👍
What exactly killed your Butia tho? Butias are quite tough and hardy.
To be honest, I haven't protected that Butia enough during the winters over the last 4 years.
It had outgrown its box, and I hadn't made a bigger box yet...
Actually a bit of the same story as the Washingtonia. A bit of laziness etc...🙈 Shame on me, I know...😇🤷♂️
But my other beautiful blue/silver Butia is always well protected and is still beautiful 👍
Tu as perdu ton butia aussi ? Comment c'est possible alors que l'armata n'a pas bronché ?
Quel température tu as eu ?
Oui malheureusement. Mais Butia était déjà fragilisée par un hiver humide 2020-2021. À ce moment-là, il avait déjà subi de graves dommages, à savoir la pourriture de la lance et perdu toutes ses feuilles. Il se remettait de cela. Mais malheureusement, un autre hiver très humide a été la goutte d'eau qui a fait déborder le vase.
Et B armata est légèrement plus résistant au gel que Butia. J'ai rarement eu des dommages sur toutes mes armatas B. J'ai souvent des dégâts sur mes Butias. Heureusement, j'ai toujours un Butia. Il a également subi des dégâts, mais il a à nouveau l'air en bon état. Il faisait -8°C avec 2 jours de glace si je me souviens bien...
@@Dimi.Exotic.Garden après je suis en Bretagne sud. J'ai un butia le mini que j'ai eu c'est -5. Et tu sais qu'en Bretagne que la pluie c'est notre ami. Cet hiver a été ÉPOUVANTABLE. 6 mois de pluie quasiment tous les jours et pourtant tjs en pleine forem
Oui, la pluie et l’humidité sont effectivement le plus gros problème. Il pleut beaucoup ici aussi, et toujours plus humide que jamais ici pendant 11 mois consécutifs. Et aussi l’année la plus froide de tous les temps. La première fois, 20°C, c'était seulement en juin et la première fois, 25°C, en juillet... Je n'avais jamais connu ça auparavant.
Et l’hiver a effectivement été terriblement humide.😔🤷♂️
