You're living my dream. Florida, sunshine and growing palm trees.
David is amazing and so knowledgeable! Earthworks is one of the best in Jacksonville FL
Thanks a lot for your knowledge David!
David has a passion for palms-and knows his stuff
More palm videos, please!
8:20 - 8:30 -> I guess, unexpected palm loving bliss for alla'us here... YT presenting, cuddling, carresing that palm.. That kind of pure and sincere love y'all needs to be forever appreciated and practiced..!!!
I'm on the FL GA line more than once I've seen people selling needle palms as a saw palmetto I go down to Earthworks I save a lot compared to the big box stores
Those are awesome palms and I need to grow one in our garden, I tried one in the late 1980's in a zone 8a/8b and it packed it in when cold hit
This fellow knows his stuff
Mccurtain county is in Oklahoma! The only county in the state to have palms. Great information and beautiful palms.
Very well done. You know your palms buddy.
I am from Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, and the type of Sykes (Raflota) is planted in the ground and its location has not been changed since it was planted 15 years ago. The sun reaches it directly in the months of July and August, and I cover it with special agricultural cover. As for the rest of the months of the year, it receives (indirect) sunlight. We fertilize it in the winter with animal manure or compost, and in the summer I fertilize it with NPK fertilizer.
I really enjoyed this video. Very informative! Thanks for sharing.
Great video! I never knew you wrote that book. I got to pick one up
Betrocks Guide to Cold Hardy Palms is a book written by author Alan Meerow. This a book I have in my Palm Encyclopedia collection, it is not a book I have written. I currently have not personally written any books at this current time, maybe one day in the future I will be able to write a book on palms!
Thank you! Very interesting.
Great information
I have the silver and green saw palmetto growing in central alabama we see how they do this winter.
Man I have palms up here in Indiana and I have my windmill palm and Chinese fan palms in a zone 6 climate. And they do really well where I'm at. But I keep them in pots just encase of a really bad cold snap.
Great info!
This was very informative 👏 👌
Happy you liked it Crystal!
Needle palm are the hardiest palm grow slow don't get big but hardy to zone 6 at least. Grow great in coastal plain of NJ
Thank you! 🥰
fan palms can differ a lot in terms of size and growth habit.
Can you grow Kentia or Majestys in Jacksonville without protecting or minimal protection?
I love it ❤️ fan palms
Thank you James palms!

Five fan palms worth having
Like a walking encyclopedia
Hi David , excellent video . I'm struggling to Identify a fan palm that grew from seed in my garden. I live in the south of Spain where the streets are surrounded in palm trees of multiple types so not sure where my seed came from . characteristics are : single trunk, flat fan leaves , quick growth (13 leaves and about 3 feet tall in 18months) ,spikes on stems, approx 30 thick leathery leaflets per leaf each with fibrous hairy edges , bright green on both sides - any Ideas ??? Gracias
I live in Cincinnati Ohio zone 6 . Is there any palm will survive our winters? Oh, awesome info. I have a 12 yr old palm I started from seed I can’t remember what it is.
I am new with Christmas palms How can I get the leaves from turning brown. I just got them planted on Friday and they are turning brown fast
I plan to Bismarck palm in the ground I don’t know why the leaves are all kind of down is it going to the shark or on my water in too much not watering enough please let me know I’d be appreciated thank you
I like 👍
Thank you!
Dude knows his s$#t !
Here in India Windmill palms die almost in months if planted in absolute sandy soil... A hotel planted many mature specimens of these and only two are left..
you didnt mention if the Chinese fan palm was cold hardy or not?
How’s it going David? What palm would you recommend for me to plant in my back yard by my pool? I’m located in Northern California and would like information on Palms that do well here.
Yo i know where you talk about in martin county on i-95 there a big nursery right by i-95
Which type of fan multi trunk fan palm has a redish trunk when trimmed up?
Hi David I’m from Ireland if I was to buy off of you can you deliver to Republic of Ireland
Sorry South west Ireland Rainforest as we don’t ship.
One thing can be better is put the plant separate on a display table without any other plant next to it. It hard to differentiate of which one you are talking about since they all fan palms.
Thanks for the suggestion. We will keep that in mind next time.
What do you guys use to stain tree trunks on palms?
We don't stain them Charles.
Can you recommend a cold tolerant palm for my front yard in Atlanta, Ga? I tried a Sago but it died and now I have a European palm and it grows very slow.
Sago will grow in Atlanta. The fronds will brown and die back but the roots and truck will survive and shoot new fronds in late spring. I have 5 . Windmill , Pindo , Sabal Minor , will all do well. I suggest you put it on South side of home and plenty of sunlight . Good luck
If you take a road trip down 75 to south of Macon and find a Lowe’s or Home Depot you can find a lot of good palms for a good price. I was in Moultrie this weekend and hit the jackpot at a Lowe’s . Bring a truck
You can try a Sabal palmetto or a pindo palm, I’ve seen them in the ATL metro area, or even a windmill palm, they trunk and are cold hardy
Can you ship a sabal minor?
Sorry, but we don't ship Clint B.
