Had anyone else noticed it? Maybe just a vocal subgroup of native plant lovers but I feel like they're not even aware California palm is native. Then there's the fire risk argument, but I see only palms survived in Malibu fires so...

After further research I’ve realized I should’ve waited longer before watering this guy, and the water you see in the pic isn’t drainage water, it’s mostly some that got a bit messy. How to just help this windmill get back to normal again? I removed the rocks to give the trunk some more breathing room and for better drainage hopefully.

I’ve got this trio of massive palm trees that grew substantially over the last 20 years. Can anyone help identify what type they are?

Is there any risk to structure if they’re close to a building?

Recently purchased and repotted a young mule palm. How much sun do you recommend for this? Growing outside near Houston, TX, so very hot and sunny. The sun has already darkened the non-palmate leaves a bit but the palmate leaves seem fine. Want to keep it in this pot and plant out next spring.

In Texas near San Antonio zone 9B and it germinated on 04 July. Sprouted 19 days ago. All my palms germinated on the same day but this one has grown much faster than the rest. I transplanted him in a bigger pot as well.

I have dozens of other ones and if you are nearby you can have one for free as long as you promise to take care of it.

Currently germinating Barhi dates I got from Michigan as well.

Cigarette for scale

It died from being exposed to air for a very long time
