Did my Musa Basjoo bananas die? WTF?!?!
HELLO, DO YOU THINK YOU WILL EVER GROW AND SELL THEM TO THE USA
@@elainegrant2091 Nope, don’t have too much interest in growing anything to sell! Thanks!
Thanks for the info! There's a few of those growing in my neighborhood here in Los Angeles and I always wondered what they were.
@@MiguelMatadotcom Oh nice! I bet they are so pretty out there! Thanks!
@@justhereforthefoliage I see people checking them out all the time . I never knew what they were named. Thanks for that.
@@MiguelMatadotcom You’re welcome! Have a great weekend!
I'm in zone 7b/7a (kinda hard to tell) and my Trachycarpus Palms never even struggled. How the F did those Trachys die in Texas o.O
@@DonPablo91 Which town are you in? I’d like to look at official NWS data to see how cold you’ve gotten. When did you install your Trachy’s and I assume you have never protected them? I’d have to imagine you’ve gotten colder than -2 at some point as well, so it’s an interesting use case.
@@justhereforthefoliage Hey, I'm close to Nuremberg, Germany. My Trachys have been installed for 5 years. Two of them I installed when they were fairly small (they have quadrupled their size since then) and my biggest Trachy I bought from a nursery which stands at about 4.5 meters tall now. So not only mature Trachys do extremely well here in central Franconia. I never even experienced a spear pull yet and was baffled by the amount of videos out there showing spear pulls. We also have a ton of Olive trees in Nuremberg which are not protected and I've also seen some Brahea Armata Palms which are not protected at all.
@@justhereforthefoliage I forgot answering your question, yes, it regularly gets fairly cold here, although winters have gotten way milder lately. -5 degrees centigrade are not uncommon. Temperatures can even drop lower, however not for too long. I remember temperatures dropping to -9 degrees centigrade last winter.
@@DonPablo91 Oh wow! I had no idea you were in central Germany and my mind is blown that it apparently doesn’t get too cold there! Wild! You are at 49°N and I am at 39°N, but I can’t grow any of that stuff there. Problem with the USA is that all the polar air comes straight down on the land from northern Canada and the Arctic and there’s nothing to stop it until it hits the Gulf of Mexico. No mountains, no oceans, nothing. You’re lucky because there is an ocean to the north of you that stops all the cold Arctic air from making its way to you. Weather patterns are fascinating! And frustrating as if I lived in my same latitude pretty much anywhere else in the world I could grow palm trees lol! Thanks!
Gorgeous flowers 💐 Like 2 My friend thank you for good sharing. Have a good relationship
@@bigtomatoplantslover6205 Thanks and you too!
Amazing!
@@nativeandunusualplants3582 Thanks!
Psa, musa basjoo are not good for fruit, but you can eat the stem and flowers 😚
@@TheLordbal I’ve heard that about the stems, but they don’t look too appetizing to me lol! We don’t have a long enough growing season for them to even flower and fruit, at least mine never have.
El serenoa repens en México es el palmito
@@rulyhernandez1528 Yes!
Wow! That's tall for growing in Cincinnati! Around CLE, they grow as small shrubs to 4ft high.
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Yeah, makes sense! This is one of the taller ones I’ve seen. My analysis says they usually top out at about 15 feet. This person could trim the trunks of these to give it a more tree like look.
I'm going to give you and everybody else a lesson on Crepe Myrtle, dude. You're braggin' about how tall this one is, when that concept is gonna backfire on you. I can tell right now, the root system is being strained. This one in your video is well past the point of pruning requirements. Plus, the fact of where you are, your Septembers don't have the 80-85° heat there is here. Furthermore, if those inside branches coming up start clashing, you, or whoever is supposed to maintain this, have failed. I see people make this blunder CONSTANTLY. If you don't get out there with fertilizer, water, and keep this ground broke up, Crepe Myrtle will fail to bloom. It will look weak. Same principle with ANY rose bush. This one needs to be pruned back from top, sides, and all the way around to be shaped. I oughta charge for these lessons.
@@stratoleft No one asked you for a lesson, dude. This homeowner clearly knows how to take care of these particular Crepe’s at this location. Google Maps Street View show these plants being installed prior to at least May 2012. Seems like if what you’re saying is true, wouldn’t they be long dead and gone by now?
Crape myrtle and southern magnolia have only been planted en masse in the suburbs in the last 15 years. It'll be interesting to see in another 15 yrs how big crape myrtles locally will be.
Yup, you’re right. Unfortunately, there aren’t a ton of Crepe’s in the city, mostly just in the suburbs, but obviously a ton of Southern Magnolias have been planted in the city since its inception. I can’t wait to see what future warming temps will do for our zone pushed plants!
Crepe Myrtle is easy for me to grow and propagate because I'm on the gulf coast. Crepe Myrtle enjoys hot weather and all day full sun. I'm surprised they even bloom at all as far north as where you are.
@@stratoleft Awesome!
we were actually in surfside beach tx (where it hit) staying in our rv for vaca.. decided to head out the day before landfall...it was wild
@@okpalms1 Wow, so glad you decided to leave and miss it! Terrifying event down there!
Hello there, Maybe a Beccariophoenix 🌴

@@ghewins Holy cow! How is that even possible? How long have they been there and are they protected in winter?
@@justhereforthefoliage (All addresses Lake Placid, Florida) 102 Royal Palm St, 165 E Interlake Blvd, 155 E Interlake Blvd, 149 Lake Pearl Dr, 132 Williams Ave
That looks like a spindle palm for me and not a bottle palm. The leafs are darker on a bottle palm.
@@tobik.8135 Oh okay, good call, thanks!
Not spindle chamadorea radicales.
@@Thomas-xy4sh Nice!
On the West Coast, windmill palms can be found as far north as Vancouver, BC.
@@ghewins Oh yeah, they go way up there and it’s well documented. I could have sworn I was looking at the cold hardiness zone maps and even saw some zone 7 or even 8 in Alaska right on the water.
Look for the blossoms in 4 - 6 weeks. They smell like imitation grape soda. Apparently not the only member of the pea family with this trait.
@@ghewins Oh okay, very interesting! Thanks for the info!
I have a few not sure what kind they are but mine look like the ones you have. I just transplanted them. Thanks for the video.
@@JustMakinDoFarms Great, for transplanting in the height of the summer, be sure to water them like crazy to get started. I don’t even water mine anymore at this point even during prolonged dry spells and they still do great. Thanks!
Those one palms on the left Is a Christmas palm on the right is called solitaire Palm
Got it, thanks!
River birch trees are definitely better suited for growing along river valleys and streams, where they thrive within their native range. They are also resistant to the (native) bronze birch borer, which devastates heat and drought-stressed white-barked birch in Europe and Asia. Whereas the river birch are losing some leaves in these conditions, the non-native species would be completely wiped out.
Funny, a tree with river in its name that should live near a river. Yet we plant them upriver in dried out areas lol!
Wow! That's blooming pretty early!
Love it!
I've always said that! Also Japanese crabapple ALWAYS look burned up in July and August but landscapers continue to plant them
Good point! What to do, what to do lol?!
@@justhereforthefoliage more magnolia, crape myrtle, and sabal minor!
@@cincytropics Needle Palm for everyone lol!
Im glad they came back.
Yes, me too! Doing great now! Thanks! Do you have any planted? If so, did they come back for you?
Sweet! Nice to see one so tall and blooming so early! I bought a 4ft Natchez this spring and am going to try to protect the wood in winter. fingers crossed.
Awesome! Wishing you good luck! I looked on Google Maps and these have been here since at least 2012. Might come back in January to see if they are protected. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing those are some very green looking palms !
Thank you, appreciate it!
You should see my friend Frankie's crape myrtles! He has two over 20 ft tall!
Can I see them from the street? I’ll try and do a drive by to check them out!
@@justhereforthefoliage one of them you can as it's right against the house
@@cincytropics Okay, cool!
I drove by and saw this today
Pretty wild isn’t it??
@@justhereforthefoliage it is indeed
@@cincytropics Know any other large pockets of it?
I've heard that there is some along Columbia parkway
@@justhereforthefoliage also I heard of some near sunken airport somewhere
We're seeing multiple days of low 90s in CLE, with some areas near Lake Erie not exceeding the upper 80s!
Awesome, glad y’all are getting some heat!
What a cool find! There are a few at The Holden Arboretum but nowhere near as massive as this one!
Yes, this one is really impressive!
nutritious- we'd better start eating it!
Yes, we might have to!
Where is here ? I watch all these how to videos yet they always fail to tell you their location. I'm in Arizona growing Dwarf Cavindish banana for the first time.
Cincinnati, Ohio. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome! That's the widest one I've ever seen! Great tree, but you're right, they're so slow growing (at least to start as young plant). I have 3 on my property that are very slow. Very cold hardy though, even in zone 5b. In your state they grow wild and overlap territory with the other large leaved magnolia, the umbrella magnolia (Magnolia tripetala). The other large leaved mags native to eastern US is the fraser magnolia (Magnolia fraseri) and there's a sub species of the big leaf called Ashe's Magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla ssp. ashei) that grows a little closer to the eastern gulf states. Nice find!
Oh wow, good to know! Thanks for the info and glad you enjoyed!
Cây này cành uốn rất đẹp ,cảm ơn bạn đã chia với mọi người ❤️🤝.
Sorry, I only know English!
I would say it really depends on where you live. Cause I live in North Carolina and I have a MASSIVE patch of Yucca Filamentosa behind my house on a ridge in woods. Theyre just wild-ecotypes so theyre not the color gaurd variety but theyre in a bunch of shade all summer long but during the winter they get the full sun they want when the leaves drop. I didn't plant them. I assume they came up naturally. Cause this land im on was never farmland so I'm i'll say if you live in a hotter climate than Ohio then they tolerate more shade.
Could be true! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Check out Beechtop Lane in Linwood/Mt. Lookout. Several acres of it there.
Oh wow, I can see its potential on Google Maps, so I will go check it out at some point. Thanks for sharing!
Play baby alligator sounds on a bluetooth speaker and they come from everywhere
Yeah I have seen guys online that just make little sounds with their mouths and call the gators out to them. Wild!
Dans quelle zone de rusticité vous êtes situés, thank you if you can answer.
Sorry! Can you please ask in English?
@@justhereforthefoliage are you in zone 6 to grow Musa basjoo,
@@mauricechatigny1066 Yes, mostly 6B/7A. Usually get down to about 0°F. Duration of cold matters though too, along with amount of heat, dew points, sun angle, soil type, precipitation, etc.
@@justhereforthefoliage thank you for your informations, I know somebody in Montreal who has success in zone 5 b I will try zone 4b with big protection.
@@mauricechatigny1066 Yes, give it a try, but make sure to provide plenty of winter protection.
Interesting, I've never heard of the vine. After watching I thought to myself I hope it doesn't reach Ontario. Looked it up in Wiki and he's a cut and paste,,, A small patch of kudzu was discovered in 2009 in Leamington, Ontario, the second-warmest growing region of Canada after south coastal British Columbia. Great :(
We should do all we can to stop it now!
I've thought that I've seen kudzu here before. Where is this colony?
I’ve only seen it in very small patches, not like this. 71 and MLK.
How can bananas survive in that very cold climate? I'm amazed.
This species is from way up in the mountains in China, so they are acclimated to cold temps. Mine struggled to come back this year but eventually did.
@@justhereforthefoliage I'm going to put Musa Basjoo on my list of future additions.
@@maryreynolds8568 Yes, absolutely!
Zone 6, Dwarf Cavendish Bananas. Tarp and pegs evenly on four corners up to just below the leaves and stuff it with straw. Preferably a straw that isn’t prone to mold or you just chop and drop and cover them with an entire hay bales worth broken up and placed in a chicken wire fence surround over it and cover with a frost blanket in both methods. It’s once a year so it’s not hard to do. Remove after any chance of frost or if it stays around 10 degrees or more.
@@daniellapain1576 Great insight! Thank you!

Yessir!
Beautiful selection of tropicals, impressive Alocasia, wanted to share this today, I'm in central NJ 🌴Jose's Tropical Garden 🌴 czcams.com/video/q0QnqLSxwEQ/video.htmlsi=XIQ7NL22rbv7Gj4k
despite their adaptability they are still no where as widespread as the common juniper
I couldn't even tell you what the common juniper looks like. I don't think I've ever seen one here in the midwest or south.
do you trim your banana leaves at all during the summer or just let them grow?
Very rarely do I trim off anything, but every once in a while I do take off some particularly bad looking ones. Thanks!
That's not a cat palm, that's a parlour palm and that's a dracaena not a cordyline.
Yes, you are totally right about the Parlor Palm. Which one is a dracaena? The one right next to it?
