Congratulations, you are now the kid in the (palm) candy store. Are there any palms I would recommend? Um, I started planting in March 2010. Two years later I am growing 58 different species, and have planted more than 165 palms, with about 35 waiting in pots. And I still have a wish list...

It seems like everyone I know growing palms in Puna is at around 800 ft. elevation. I have an acre in Leilani Estates that is about 780 - 800 ft. elevation. Then when I drive to Floribunda or Bill Austin's, even though it feels like I've gone uphill, they are also around 800 ft. It's kind of...

Interesting. Last time I was in Hilo I called Novelty Greens to arrange a visit, left a message, no response. I'll keep trying. Jerry, well, okay. I've seen some philos at HD but I have NO clue what I'm looking at, and don't want to plant bad boys who misbehave in the garden. Aroid...

What are some good resources for these plants on the Big Island? I'd like to get some of these large leaves going up some bare tree trunks. And where can one find reliable cultural information?

Noah had an ark, not an arc. I know, picky, picky. I can't seem to fix it.

Nice video, love the sound of the rain. The color in the Dictyocaryum lamarckianum is superb. This video paused every second or two in the first view, but was very smooth on second viewing, and appeared smoother than the Mad Fox one posted on PT (none of the slight flickering). Your garden is...

I did the Manta Ray Night Dive off Kona in October 2009. I did the SCUBA version while my husband Steve and Dean did the snorkel version. It was far and away the most spectacular wildlife viewing dive I've ever done. The dive master sets a large light on the sea floor; the divers sit in a...

Just that little bit of information is a huge help, Dean, thanks. I was looking at the stumps, knowing for certain they will sprout again (plenty of evidence of that having happened right in the same spot), so the Crossbow info is invaluable. I think one more afternoon of effort and I can...

I'm reviewing your article here more carefully now, as I am in the middle of hand clearing a rocky, log-littered slope about 20 ft. from my house. I have some Lemurophoenix to plant, and would like to add some Licuala peltata v. sum. I'm curious how clear is "cleared" and ready for planting...

The coupon code does not work. No discount. :confused: Hey, I'm trying.:) Okay, I figured it out, I have to spend more money (buy more than one shirt) to get the discount.

I think you guys are right, Melianthus major. I can make out the central rib on the leaflets and serrations. I immediately thought of the other plant because I had admired it so much at Mardy's, but this isn't it. Sorry Shon!

I think it is Rhaphidophora decursiva (answered this on the other thread a moment ago).

July 8, 2009, but then I got really busy in September...

It's a whole new world, and yes, lots of fun! About being out of practice -- eventually I would like to add some photos here, but I am overwhelmed for the next several months with other pressures. This is a wonderful resource you have created -- I refer to it often -- and will eventually...

Re: Pinanga philipinensis I can't remember how to edit titles; it's Pinanga philippinensis

I'd take 'em but I already have 3 and my garden is miniscule... Also I do not have transport for large rootballs. Why does that sound funny to me?

Hey Steve, nice to hear from you, been wondering how the rancho is faring post-firestorm.
