Hi Shauna thanks for the reply, another youtuber said exactly the same as you did. I bought some hydrogen peroxide 3% never used it before. I poured it into the crown of the palm and it fizzed up. Didn't know what to expect. Fingers 🤞 it will survive. Glad you enjoy my channel. Hopefully as I keep going my channel, videos and garden will improve.
Hi Chris cheers for mentioning, take it you have had a few spear pulls this year yourself. The new ones I've bought will definitely be going in the garage if the temp drops like that again before I plant them into the ground eventually
Hi Matt yeah I lost two in pots over the winter as I didn’t protect them but I had canary’s in pots and they just had leaf damage but putting on vibrant green foliage now and they are less hardy that the chamerops.
Wow that does surprise me how the Chamaerops spear pulls which is supposed to alot hardier than cipd. Especially with the -8oC we has. Where they close to your house with shelter
Lost my two small ones in the tall raised planters I built, was not expecting to lose them. Think im just going to have to go bullet proof hardy with the big planters and plant non-tropical stuff, just fill it with nice hebes or something. I have a harden layout on a PowerPoint slide I made and im constantly changing it ! 😂😂
Hi Michael I completely agree with your bullet proof approach to hardy plants. I'm in the process at the moment trying to find hardy evergreen alternatives. Don't give up on the tropical dream. I have mentioned loads on my channel already and have more different options to come 👍
A waggy palm next. Chaemerops are super expensive over here, double the price of a Trachy. I'd love a nice blue coloured hardy palm for the collection.
Haha yeah waggy next on me shopping list to find a cheap one, everything is so expensive. Need to find a bargain getting lucky the garden center or take a chance online, I was lucky these palms I bought online look in mint condition, can't wait for the princeps to put some size on
@@mattsuktropicalgarden Waggys super hard to find at a good price and arent often in the cheaper places, we too are looking for some, so if you ever get some let us know and thanks for the content Matt
Will do can't find a better price than the ones I've just bought recently £12.99 for the princeps and £20 for the size of chamaerops is a bargain at the moment. Can I ask what your name is can't keep calling you Mr Chuffy lol 😆
@@mattsuktropicalgarden Yeah thats an absolute bargain, I meant more on waggy palms though, we struggled to find them at the right price, and sometimes at any price. My name is Carl mate and the other half is Angela, we struggling to do this garden stuff together :)
Now plant you're new palms in the ground in spring after the last frosts , I would probably say end of April because I guarantee you lost those palms because they were in pots and the roots froze ! Yes they can survive down to minus 8 ,in fact mine survived down to minus 9 because they are in the ground and most of the roots are a good one foot underground where the frost and ice can't get down to unless it's really cold ,I didn't even wrap my chaemarops humilis and no damage at all ,so please plant them in the ground ,they will grow bigger and better as well .
Cheers Lee, yeah you are absolutely right. I am getting them I'm the ground as soon as spring gets along the way. Yeah my bad should of done it sooner wasn't expecting this winter or that stupid week of freezing temps to cause so much damage. Learn from my mistakes, cheers Lee
Hi the trachycarpus fortunei did pull through eventually once they started growing again. The chamaerops humilis however did not pull through they were just to small.
You've been unlucky Matt. I've had one in the ground 15 years, it even survived the -12°C here in 2010-2011. The pot probably knackered it together with the cold. Better luck next time👍
Yes mate big learning curve thought the spot in the sun would of worked, thought they were like trachycarpus hardiness. I think I need to start winning some of these plant battles soon 😮💨
@Matts UK Tropical Garden At least it wasn't too pricy to replace. I wouldn't worry too much about the drainage with them either. My chaemarops is in crappy heavy clay in a north facing bed and its 7ft tall now👍
No cheap as far as palm prices go. That's good to know they don't need to be in free draining soil. Bring on spring need to life in the garden plus it might wake me up to lol
You can also pour hydrogen peroxide into the crown. It think it would have fared better if it hadn't been in a pot during the cold. They are pretty hardy especially when they've developped some trunk.
Thanks I will have a look into it. I know big learning curve yet again. I should of planted it into the ground or at least moved it inside or covered it up, I always thought they were alot hardier like trachycarpus. Should of done my research 😒
Great value on the new palms 👍🏻
You know what to buy now for your garden 😉
Hydrogen peroxide about £5 from amazon is a cheaper alternative supposed to help prevent rot spreading. Loving your channel. Shauna

All my chamerops in the ground survived the spear pull, ones in pots all had spear pull. So in the ground they are much stronger.

Did it survive?

@@mattsuktropicalgarden 🤣🤣
That’s a great price, where did you buy them?
Which palms are you on about. The chamaerops or the princeps?
@@mattsuktropicalgarden no worries, found it. I saw the supplier straight after I commented 🤣
No problem glad you found where I bought them from.
I’d like to know where the chamerops were from! Ta!
Can't remember of the top of my head. I did mention it on my dreaded spear pull and new palms video.
You can also pour hydrogen peroxide into the crown. It think it would have fared better if it hadn't been in a pot during the cold. They are pretty hardy especially when they've developped some trunk.

Thanks just order some hydrogen peroxide 3% that's alot cheaper £4 see if it helps 👍
Definitely not bullet proof esp in a pot, had spear pull on the same one twice in about 3 years! Hopefully reshoot from the side or base. 🤞
Cheers Stephen so your chamaerops recovered twice then, fingers 🤞 my will do the same
