Within the last three years, I have become particularly interested in growing palms. Although California isn't the best place to grow palms, it's amazing just how many different species of palms are currently being grown here, many of which were thought to be too tropical or sensitive in their requirements to successfully grow here. So, why not go out today and start your own palm paradise. You'll be the envy of all your neighbors, and everyone will be amazed by your ability to create your own oasis or jungle-like environment. Dedicated palmoholics and novices alike will come to bask in your tropical splendor and swap palm growing adventures, palms, advice, and secrets.
Most palms grow relatively slowly, so they are quite adaptable to growth in containers.
Using this technique, you can grow your own collection, and have a array of exotic and rare palms of plantable size ready for future planting in your own little piece of paradise. Hyphorbe lagenicaulis, Jubea chilensis, Livistona muelleri, Livistona speciosa, Orbignya cohune, Parajubea cocoides, Pritchardia hillebrandii, Psuedopoenix ekmanii, Rhopalostylis baueri , and Wodyetia bifurcata. If you have any interesting palm seeds, need someone to go in on a palm seed order, or you're in the San Diego area and are interested in trading palms, send me an email.
