Foxy lady seeding DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE

So today is my 24 hour soak, I added some super thrive to the water at 1 tsp per gallon and am hoping that my plant drinks it up! Both are superbly grown, just needs to planted to adapt to So Cal conditions and watering. There are many other wonderful palms to grow where you are. There are more palms than Foxy Lady. As Dean says, if it doesn’t budge after a week or two of this shock, you may have a dead palm and one day the crownshaft will just collapse on you along with any green material that remains.
Here are a few pics of some of the F2’s that I am growing out to sell. The vast majority of the good looking seed are NOT viable. Sometime even though they are hard, they float.

The foxtails are the ones in community pots, and foxyladies are singles in 1 gal. It PROVES that it is a true foxy lady,as foxtails are almost never variegated. I’ve got several foxtails (probably too many, but it was the first “exotic” tree that I really liked), some common King palms, and some Kentias. Foxy Lady palms are incredibly fast growing palms and I think yours has a fighting chance if you get it in the ground ASAP and keep it’s rootball watered. It never ceases to amaze me how little water rootbound palms in pots get, even if you soak them everyday.

What is the difference between Foxtail & Foxylady seedlings?

Call me anytime to chat about transplanting palms. They say the foxy lady is a rocket but the growth rate appears to be the same as seedlings. The foxtails have been grown in some shade, and the foxyladies have been growing in at least 1/2 day Sun.

I came across the legendary Foxy foxy gold lady palm.

Are Foxy Lady palms sterile?

Unfortunately for you, you’ve got that nasty brown spotting along with the crown lean which makes it look like this one is on the decline. You can see how the trunk is starting to sort of concave a little on the side with the brown spotting. I guess I better start thinking about what I want to plant in it’s place eventually. Yet another sign of demise after the last frond dropped is a horizontal crack in the most external crownshaft sheath.

• Note the smooth texture of the seed fiber compared to a course fiber foxtail.
• I’m encouraged to see some growth of the spear, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
• Secondly, drought tolerance is typically referring to in ground established plants.
• I never said the palm looked bad I said it was basically bare root and variegated which I specifically said I didn’t want!!!
• I have 6 mature foxy ladies and all but 2 are variegated.

I’m hoping that the foxy lady will turn all green it only has 1 frond that is variegated. I’ve been growing this foxy lady a few years now and I think it’s time to rehome her. Is there any way to tell if seeds are hybridized by looking at them as they develop? So my question would be if this palm is mostly green will it do well in full sun The green form tends to perform better in full all day sun than the variegated which burns more easily especially in hot dry sun.

• Initially that doesn’t look like the LPS I’ve experienced or seen; I think I would be more worried about the dark weeping spots.
• I don’t want to give a utility an excuse to start cutting back other healthy palms in my garden that are even further from the phone lines than this one.
• I’m hoping that the foxy lady will turn all green it only has 1 frond that is variegated.
• I ask because I have 3 one leaf seedlings and they all have variegation so I’m just curious if they’ll all keep this as adults
• This would happen far more quickly for you than it does for those of us in the humid tropics where the plant tissues survive on atmospheric moisture for ages before the final collapse.
• That palm is 100% solid dark healthy green.
• Did not notice the variegation earlier but as Jim pointed out, on the lower leaf there it is.

Anytime now the frond on the left, which is against the lean will fall off, and you can see the angle of the newest frond which should be on that side of the palm is leaning to the right. I at least have 2 other Foxy Ladies planted about the same time. I have two good size foxy ladies that are perhaps my favorites.

I planted a 1 gallon Cyphophoenix elgans to the east of it about 3-4 years ago, so its just starting to gain some momentum. Sorry to hear this…..time to edit and replace. The Caryota had to be edited after it flowered; this is the nature of a garden that some plant won’t outlive us. Obviously the dark spots on the trunk remain as photographed above . Two years later and the palm is still standing but also continuing to show the consistent tilt.
I am good with the outcome either way, but if you really want to rid yourself of that ‘ugly’ plant,I am ready to adopt. I would LOVE to own that ‘ugly’ palm. I have 3-7g (one slight variegation) I have 3-3g (one slight variegation) I do need to get better on checking my palm talk tho!
