I actually didn't see yatay till larisa mentioned it because I looked just Hehoh's quote, first it was like "nice palm"  but than I saw a chair, and I realised how big it is.

Yonex you dont mean the red chair do you...thats a chair from my 2 year old sun 

Branimir, im sorry you had to wait to open your bear so long...Cheers

Mmm, jubaea is epic. I knew that chair is for kids, but still when I compare it is one big palm tree. Maybe for you it's just an ordinary butia, but for me it's soooo nice.

[branimir]

Its great

Thanks guys! Yonex dont get me wrong, its not an ordinary Butia for me, im very proud to have one but maybe you didnt take a good look and thought it was a normal chair, than it would really be a monster!

I just digged a very deep hole (about a meter) for my Oreophilus and put all kind of limestone rocks (big and little ones) and a mix of cocopeat/mediteranian soil in it. Its at a spot which gets some sun a day, most of the day is shade.


I hope for the best!

  Nice to hear that. 
 
Oreophilus is also interesting, it's nice to have a "collection" of Trachys, and you have quite a lot of them. Do you have princeps? That one is my favourite. 

[Mate2008]

Hey Yonex, no i dont have the princeps..i just started a year ago with serious Trachy hobby. I wasnt really a Trachy fan because i saw alot of fortuneis here that didnt look to great (wind/cold etc) and wasnt informed that there are many more species.
Do you have a princeps in full ground? and do you protect it?

beautiful trahi Matos well all you fair

[Liliput]

Everything is great! 

[Yonex]

Unfortunately I don't have it yet, but I will try to get it somehow. Seeds are rare, there are no trusted sellers, I am afraid that I don't get something else instead of princeps.I like it's blue color. I mean, look at this little one, it is beautifull!!!



But still no one had ever done an examination to determine how much princeps is cold hardy. I also saw this: "Some say it got damage at 15F but small plants have been tested from -9.5C in UK to -15C(5F) in Alabama ,USA and Netherlands and Germany without any problem."
