Hey Gary, had a question, is there a tropical plant that does well planted under Giant Timber Bamboo....as when it becomes more mature, it thins out at the bottom....
Dont know if anyone really grows it on the west coast but rhapidophyllum is hardy to 0 f and has dark green leaves even if grown in sun. it isnt a direct replacement but its foliage can be used for a very similar effect to rhapis
@@tstieber it's generally prettier in person than a Google image search. it comes from hot humid rainy summer places with high nighttime temperatures that would be a very different environment from the west coast, but it's probably very adaptable as long as it gets occasional deep irrigation during the warm months
Man I love this palm. I have this palm in a zone 6A in Muncie Indiana. I've watered it with snow it's tooken frost the pot even froze a little one time on this guy and it still survived for me and is doing great !
@@Rocketman0407 no this guy doesn't clump and where I'm at I'm lucky to just get a trachycarpus fortunei. It's not a clumper and has those trachycarpus fortunei fronds I only have one option where I'm at to get needle palms and that's online and I can't afford that. Lol. I think as of now it's starting to get thick. But I'm not the only one zone pushing trachycarpus fortunei. Indy palms is too! Another TH-camr.
You should experience the specimen in Bok Towers gardens it’s anything but boring. The palms are 15’ tall and form an enclosed path/room where you are surrounded and covered by them.

Yes, I love the Needle Palm. It is actually very tropical looking for how hardy it is.
I've only seen it in books but never at a nursery

These can reach 3 meters. Can you prune tops to keep a certain height?
You would have to cut the entire stock down, and it would be replaced by more sprouting from the ground
a plant that can act as a privacy hedge and grow at the base of Giant Timber.

Wow, that's impressive
I am pretty sure you are confusing it with a needle palm.
@@ScaryHairyGary thank you I have videos of it on my TH-cam channel!

@@thegreenthumb6184 try Sabal Minor as well. I think those can survive in a great microclimate in your location
Please review Sealing Wax Palm/ Red Lipstick Palm
Your wish is my command
