Re: Any word from our southern members?
Hi all,
I hadn't seen this thread. I am fine, thank you for the concern. St. Gabriel is just outside of Baton Rouge. We had wind in the 60 mph range, and very little rain. I had lots of pecan...

Re: Musa 'Bordelon' fruiting ?
not sure on the chromosome count of beccarii, thought it was the same as M. coccinea. Regardless, making tetraploids of all of these would possibly eliminate some of the barriers caused different...

Re: Variegated Palms
The palms are a personal interest, not commercial so I'd prefer to trade if you have something of interest. These get to be huge, but given how easy they were (or should i say how much abuse they...

Re: Variegated Palms

Re: Variegated Dwarf 'namwah Pearl'
I'm hoping for some Senorita myself. Sounds like a good candidate for being a producer in zone 8... even if not, it should be much easier to handle over winter at least.
