Re: Free* Queen Palm Seeds

I'd love them but I'm in zone 6. Maybe next time I could try a seed or two and keep them inside. :03:

Re: Planting by a pool

I've used my pool water to water my hanging baskets when I've been too lazy to walk back and forth to the house to fill my water jug. Chlorine residuals, at least here in NY, are about 2.0 ppm, my...

Re: Over wintering over?

Thanks. I'm in 6a. I'll take your advice and wait a couple more weeks. With luck I'll have a bunch of yellowish leaves waiting for sunlight. :nanadrink:

Re: Over wintering over?

It was an especially brutal winter snow-wise. Fourth snowiest all time, 178". :waving: It's not a typo, almost 15 feet of the white stuff. Hopefully the snow acted as an insulator. :ha:

Re: I hope they are snug

I hear you. Saturday night is supposed to be -15 without windchill. Might be a disappointing spring.

Hope the musa bajoo make it....

Re: New Guy

6 feet? My plants started out 2 feet and barely made it to 3 over the summer. I thought they'd be better off if I let them stay in the ground, so I've already chopped them down to about 1 1/2' and...
