This Sunday Sean from Chilly Palm Tree Co showed up with the goods for the VPS group drop. It was a great success! Many members and non members showed up to receive their palms, bananas and other plants. One person made it all the way from Lynchburg VA (over 3 hours away) to pick up his palms. Thats some dedication! Thanks again Sean!!!

Here's some photos from the days events. Sorry. I had a smudge on my lens and didn't realize it until later. LOL!

Hi there Jay....Looks like you're all going to be busy planting them up real soon! Must say I like the look of the 'palm protector'...he looks as if he has his eye fixed on somebody!! What breed is it...a mastiff possibly?? Hey I've just spied a second one in the cab! No one would dare steal palm with those two there.
Its very nice weather here in the UK at the moment with temps reaching 20C already... the norm would be no more than 15C if very lucky at this time of year, but we could still get overnight frosts through till the end of May..sigh. My palms are enjoying the extra boost so hopefully they will put on some good growth this year. I have lots of new spears emerging so things are looking good.

Hi Gill. Thats great to hear about your weather and your plants! Warm weather and new spears are always good things. I'll definitely be helping The Virginian Plant all of those. The problem will be finding a spot for them. I'm sure we'll manage. LOL!

You're absolutely right about the dogs. They are Cane Corso Italian Mastiffs. They used to be breed as Roman war dogs. They are very loyal to there owners. Very strong but not as aggressive as say a Rottweiler. I would never own one but they are beautiful dogs. Sean from Chilly Palm breeds them. They are worth a fortune.

That's awesome. I have a 3 gallon Sabal Birmingham and a 15 gallon Sabal Brazoria coming to my friend (the virginian's) house in Sterling VA for me to pick up the first week of April. I cant wait. Sean said at that size the Brazoria start sending up a seed stalk.

My Butia palm from Chilly Palm Tree had developed scale a few months later too. The eggs must have been there dormant. We removed it by hand twice because it re-occured. But after that it was OK. I was very concerned that if the scale would have spread in my greenhouse to other plants/palms I would have to do major spraying, which would be unhealthy since I grow lots edibles. Since cold weather palm businesses are hard to come by, I would warn people too, but I would not want to hurt his business too much. I called him about the scale when it formed on my Jelly palm and he did recommend some soaps to help get rid o the scale. If the palm was any larger, removing scale could have been a real ordeal.

Hey Jay, for the brief period that I was there I had a great time and it was a pleasure meeting everyone! The trip back to Lynchburg (actually closer to 4 hours) was much nicer with my new palms in hand! Keep in touch
