Additions to the Collection

A friend from Northern Virginia and fellow palmophile just wouldn’t let me go away from the plant tour of his property (very impressive) empty handed: I’ve added to my hardy palm collection two Sabal Louisianas and a young Windmill Palm. The Windmill palm is noteworthy because he manually crossed the well established (more than a decade old) male palm in his collection with a female palm from another local collector and produced seeds that might possibly have inherited some cold hardiness from their parent plants.

I will probably keep all three plants in containers for a few years until I can get some size on them and then transfer them into the yard.
