Sorry for the million questions.
Austin , Thanks for the Mid-Summer Update, The warm days and rain have caused an explosion in Arkansas,LOL.
I dont know where to start but those Asian Bananas are awesome. The gold looks like a jewel and the red is awesome. Randy and yourself have got this down pat. Still unsure for my climate.
Your S.Minor var. Louisiana (?) is huge. When it looks that large in a photo you can bet its a big'un. It would take 6 or 7 years to get something like that here Austin,
It looks like its trying to trunk ! Love that palm Austin.
The Butia looks like its in habitat , perfect.
The flow of its fronds arent missing a beat Austin. Are these palms reliably hardy in southern Arkansas? I would imagine they are.
The three (?) T. wagnerianus are looking great. The texture and design of those fronds freak me out.LOL. They really seem to have picked up Austin. Are they Canadian? I only have one in the ground , knee high but frondy , I may have a couple of smaller ones potted, A great Trachycarpus for my climate anyway. Id love to run across a 50 gallon or so..lol.
Austin is that a Siam Ruby under that palm?
It looks like it but mine has more red. Its a nice banana for sure.
Your windmills have taken off and there is no turning back now , expect phenomenal growth with them from now on !
Your W.Robusta , oh what a tropical treasure. Its regained all its glory for sure. That de-booting is a chore..lol.. Mine has a 2 foot stretch of natural debooting exposing a smooth sabal palmetto like trunk but the rest of the trunk is very stubborn and wont budge, I guess just trimming back as close to the trunk as you can will help more. I do like the smooth trunk for sure. The boots on a washingtonia are more aggrevating than a Sabal Palmetto for some reason.lol.
Austin, thanks for letting us come over for a while and see that a little effort goes a long way. I guess the variety and landscape makes even a few common southern palms look way more tropical in your yard, looking for that fall - end of summer - growth update already..but not the weather.lol
dont forget us !
