Jeff has such awesome crotons and Judy, Moose, and Ray's advice and expertise is 2nd to none. Sure wish I could have made it this go 'round. Until next time - enjoy and buy some of those fantastically grown crotons (and palms). Best ~ Rich

I've got some of this seed sowing for about a month now. I am excited about this cross. Does anyone have a guess at what it might look like when it's all grown up? Cold tolerance potential stretches the boundaries further and further north.....which is appreciated in the frozen tundra of...

Update Moose? You eat any of those Ae Ae 'naners yet? Nice looking fruit ~ enjoy it. Rich

In saving palm pollen for hybridizing purposes, all guidance I've been given is to avoid plastic baggies. Paper bags are preferred and keep pollen alive while ensuring that all the male flowers open and release their pollen. Keep the male flowers in high heat and permit them to fully open...

Sterwarti compliments of the Mooseman back in early October.

Winter Haven, FL supposed to see lows of 39, 32, & 39 on the 2nd, 3rd & 4th, respectively. Fortunately, the coolest high is 56 on the 3rd and we rebound into the 60s on the 4th and 70s by late next week. Let's hope this is the only one of these this winter. Happy New Year Everyone, Rich

Ultimate low of 39F this morning up in the frozen tundra. No frost evident as of sunrise. I hope that Ray's prediction above of 39F in Tampa Tuesday is way off. TWC is showing 38F for Winter Haven on Monday 1/2/12. Hope everyone is well and Happy New Year (hopefully a warm one!) Rich

Guilty Ray. And Happy Holidays to you too! There are quite a few left. I'm hoping that they don't have a reason to make it to the mark down rack b/c of cold. If they do, you can imagine who's gonna snipe them off that rack! Hope all is well and looking forward to the next time! Rich

very nice Scott. I figure mine will drop that low once (and I'm hoping it doesn't) we have our first frost/freeze. I'm glad one of the two big boxes still marks down their plants instead of charging them back to the vendors/wholesalers. Good to hear from you Scott. Hope all is well and...

Grabbed what was labeled as Magnificent and Mango at a local big box today. Here are the two of them together in the sun: Brings my croton varietals total to a dozen. Thanks again to the Mooseman who so generously gave a third of these to my collection. Enjoy, Rich

Looks an awful lot like what I have and was ID'd as AFD #5

Growing in a somewhate sheltered area of my neck of the woods.....experts - your thoughts would be appreciated: Thanks everyone, Rich

Hey Moose, rpebinger here....wanted to take a moment to thank you for your tremendous generosity this past weekend. I'm going to try and get some size to your babies before planting them out in the spring. I enjoyed meeting you and your wife - and look forward to seeing you again at another...

Hey Dean I was in the Classified section and tried to click on Scott (McIntosh's) ad for the Arenga Engleri seed. When I clicked on the the "Buy It" button - it took me back to the home page of Palmpedia. I have to admit - I am notorious for not reading directions - but even when I went...

Very nicely done Erik. Thanks again to Scott for detailing the technique and to you Erik - for all the pictorials on the results. That's quite and operation you have got there. I've got a Butia x S. coronata that's 4.5 years old that just went in the ground last week. It was a gift from a...

Looking good Scott :cool: Do you have any favorite technique for removing the seed coats prior to germinating? Looks like I'm a good 2-3 weeks behind you in the process - but will have oodles and oodles of ripening seed. Thanks, Rich

Scott, Any chance of posting a pic of the difference between the two cross-sections (solid wood vs. endosperm)? Would really appreciate it. How's the B x A seed set coming along? Thanks, Rich
