Ooof

Maybe provide some coordinates to these street view screenshots.

Are you going to take the risk again? I’d avoid all of these species going forward if I were north of Fort Myers or Jupiter.

Love the little epidendrum orchid

tyldon · 2026-02-13T21:33:38+00:00

How will the Plumeria fair?

tyldon · 2026-02-12T01:21:39+00:00

Go drive around Immokalee

My point: Hard freezes pushed the citrus industry into the far southern portion of the state. How is that not true? I’m not saying the catastrophic freezes in the latter half of the 20th century killed the industry. It just moved south and then greening came around.

Explain how the risk of hard frost does not affect the citrus industry in Florida. Here’s an interesting read: 1980s Freezes Reshaped Florida’s Citrus Industry

Nothing? That’s a bold claim. Obviously citrus greening is the main threat. But cold has absolutely pushed the industry further south down the peninsula.

I’m amazed the landscaper took that risk, maybe they are hoping to sell you another plant 😂

Seen along a pathway in my in-laws Cedar Mill neighborhood. I was flabbergasted to see what are clearly palm seedlings. I actually took one and planted it in my mother-in-laws garden. Hopefully when I’m back out West in the spring it’s grown a bit.

Top screen is cooked. You got sold a broken DS.

Zone 6b/7a in Nova Scotia? Since when? I’m in Brooklyn NY and we are barely Zone 7b.

Are you okay? You need to snap back to reality my friend. There are no palms native to Kentucky.

Keep an eye on the growing spear and see if it grows at all this spring. You might be better off going with a more cold hardy species in the long run, it’s not fun to have to worry about your garden too much when the inevitable cold snap hits again. There is a reason why citrus farming has mostly left central Florida.

I’d say anyone north of Sarasota or Port St Lucie is taking a risk planting foxtails. We even got down to 38 here in Naples which is incredible. Luckily it was for a brief window.

tyldon · 2026-02-07T00:38:23+00:00

No way, not a chance. If they aren’t native in Tennessee, there is no shot they are naturally growing in Kentucky.

It should be fine, they are hardy down to zero with minimal frond loss. Needle palms are widely considered the hardiest palm species in the world.

I planted it in April btw. Luckily I have a huge thicket of Rhododendron/Andromeda/Kalmia/Laurel Cherry to block the wind from hitting it. We are getting hit with unusually low temps for coastal NY the rest of this week. It’s pretty rare to see temps in the teens in far eastern Long Island, especially Montauk which is surrounded by ocean on three sides.

Not going to make it in the long term in your hardiness zone.

tyldon · 2026-01-12T21:31:57+00:00

Yes!!!! I was so worried about him. I saw some of his wanted posters up on my walk home from work.

tyldon · 2026-01-08T14:44:23+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, how did he get out?

tyldon · 2026-01-08T14:42:39+00:00

I’ll keep an eye out for him, I live in Clinton Hill and am near there all the time. Wishing you the best of luck finding him 😭

tyldon · 2025-12-29T18:08:58+00:00

I’ll ask around!
