Palm tree facts and Maintenance

From Orbitalawn

Your Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills Lawn service company.

813/735-3416

kyle@orbitalawn.com

There is said to be 2,600 species within the palm family with a wide variety of physical traits.

Most exist in the tropics, but some come from the Mediterranean, southern Europe, the tropics of Asia and Africa, as well as South America and southern regions of the United States.

Palm trees are known to be monopodial, meaning coming from one stem. In most palm trees, the stems tend to be covered with stiff fibers

Fruit
Certain types of palm trees develop fruit and some edible fruit.

The coconut palm and date palm grow fruit of the same names. Other types of palms bear edible fruit including the Guadelupe palm, jelly palm, Chilean wine palm and California fan palm. The fruit of these palms vary in texture, flavor and color.

Trimming
Some palms shed the fronds naturally while other delay the process. Many palm tree varieties need manual pruning. You should not prune the fronds too close to the trunk. Pruning excessively can lead to increased vulnerability to diseases along with limiting the tree’s ability to tolerate warm conditions.

Water
Palms are the Great choice for low-maintenance landscapes but most species need only a bare minimum of water to survive.

cold tolerance

Most palm trees that live in tropical environments are not very cold tolerant at all. Most will die or become extremely damaged in temperatures that dip below freezing, but some have the ability to withstand cold temperatures. The most cold-hardy palm is generally considered to be the needle palm. This palm is planted outside with very little protection in areas as far north as New York City. It can withstand temperatures as low as 20 degrees below zero.

My personal favorites are.

watermelon flamethrower palm

Blonde flamethrower palm

Purple King Palm Tree

King palm

Macaw palm

Benefits and facts of mulch, from Orbitalawn your Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills Lawn company

2010-10-06T23:59:00Z

A mulch layer around trees, shrubs and planted beds and covering bare ground provides many benefits. In areas that are hard to mow, irrigate or maintain. Also consider placing mulch in shady areas where plants don’t grow well.

Organic mulch materials improve soil fertility as they turn into great top soil.

Mulch buffers soil temperature, keeping the soil warmer in winter months and cooler in summer months.

Mulch helps maintain soil moisture by reducing evaporation thus minimizing water needs for established plants.

Fresh mulch inhibits weed germination and growth.

Mulch improve soil aeration, structure and drainage.

Mulch around trees and shrubs eases maintenance and reduces the likelihood of damage from string trimmers.

Mulch gives planting beds a neat and uniform appearance, adding a contrast of color and texture that complement your landscape.

How Much Mulch?

Generally about 2-inch to 3-inch layer of mulch. Pine nuggets, can be applied to a depth of 4 inches.

Mulch applied too deeply, hinders oxygen to roots, which stresses the plant and causes root rot. Do not place mulch on top of a tree’s root ball or against the trunk..

We try to avoid cypress mulch because harvesting from the wild depletes wetlands.

Shell, crushed stone or pebbles sometimes are used as mulch, but they won’t contribute to the soil’s nutrient and organic content or moisture capacity.

Limestone and shell both raise soil pH. They also reflect heat, increasing the water needs of plants.

Weed barriers, I like to use them when dealing with Rock or shell mulch, but try to avoid it when using organic mulches because the much breaks down turning into great top soil as pointed out earlier. once it is or has broken down weeds move in and are that much harder to remove them. Try new paper instead. I use news paper about 4 layers thick lay it down and place it with hand fulls of mulch. Yes the new paper will break down but by the times It does the weeds that were beneath it would have expired.

I hope todays Tips help you with your mulch questions.

Bromeliads- Ideas from your Lawn service company

2010-10-05T01:43:00Z

BROMELIADS are an unusual and diverse family of plants. They produce a spectacular array of small flowers on beautiful spikes or inflorescences with dozens of subtle flowers; other species have dozens of quite small delicate flowers in a rosette cup. Some species are large with long belt-like leaves, and some are small with curved, course, thin leaves. Many are natural epiphytes (attached to another living plant), but some grow on rocks; several species grow in the ground. Many species derive some of their moisture from the air, and many have a pool of water in a "cup" formed by the closely overlapping leaves. The foliage is colorful with greens, browns, reds, and yellows. Many factors cause bromeliads to bloom such as age of plant, length of day, light intensity, water and temperature.

These plants are easy to maintain outside or indoors, and they are gaining popularity. They make great houseplants and can take unfavorable growing conditions. Did you know Pineapples and Spanish moss are Bromeliads?

Consider Bromeliads in your flower bed!

The mighty staghorn fern

2010-09-20T22:55:00Z

Propagation of your staghorn

Use a sharp knife to trim off young shoots---called "pups"---from the base of the fern. Pack the hole left in the mother plant with sphagnum moss.

Fill a small pot halfway with peat-based potting mix. Gently push your pup down into it, and fill in the rest of the pot with more potting mix. Water your fern well without soaking it. Place it in a window that gets filtered sunlight and keep it moist, but not soaking wet.

Mount your staghorn pup onto a board instead of potting it. Choose any kind of board, or even a piece of driftwood. I have used 2 different size dowel rods 2" and .25" drilled holes in the 2" dowel rod big enough to push through your .25" rods to 2 inches appear on both sides of your 2" dowel rod. You want to drill 4-5 holes and push your rods through all holes remember to leave 2" of the .25" rods show on both sides...

Fill the space between the rods with long-fibered sphagnum moss until is about 2 inches deep. Nestle one or two pups into the moss, and make sure their bases are completely covered with moss. I have also use banana peels mixed in with the moss just a few will do the trick

Tie one end of your nylon or waxed string to a .25"rod. Bring it across the pups and moss to the opposite .25"rod, wrap it around once and then bring it back across to a different .25" rod. Continue winding the string back and forth across the moss and pups from .25"rod to .25"rod, making a web to hold the moss and pups in place. Tie it off when you feel the pups are securely held.

Water your now mounted staghorn ferns by soaking them in water---you can put the whole board in the sink, a bucket -for 10 minutes, 2 times a week. Give them a drink of diluted liquid fertilizer once a month.

Water...

2010-06-21T03:30:00Z

lawns and most non-native plants usually need about an inch of water per week to thrive. So unless you have a drought-tolerant garden, plants will go dormant, die back, or die totally if you don’t supplement with irrigation When normal summer showers take some time off.

Whenever it does rain, it’s just too easy to skip that week’s watering. But it’s smarter to measure each week’s rainfall with a gauge that measures precipitation in hundredth’s of an inch, then subtract that from the amount of water you apply. Very often you’ll find that several hours worth of drizzle only amount to one or two tenths of an inch, and though your plants have wet leaves, most of their roots are still on the dry side.

To check rainfall, Use a gauge found at just about any garden center, To check the amount of water sprinklers put down, I use another very old tool: the empty tuna can. It holds just over an inch of water.

When you are watering , apply it slowly. If it starts to run off before you've put down an inch, turn the sprinklers off and let it soak in before you continue.

A 10,000 square foot lawn will contain: 6 grass plants per square inch, 850 plants per square foot, 8.5 million plants total
The front lawns of 8 average houses have the same cooling effect as 24 (3-4 ton capacity) home central air conditioning units
Lawn grasses trap much of an estimated 12 million tons of dust and dirt released annually into the U.S. atmosphere.
Grass helps to purify water entering underground aquifers by its root mass and soil microbes acting as a filter to capture and breakdown many types of pollutants.
A dense lawn is 6 times more effective than a wheat field and 4 times better than a hayfield at absorbing rainfall.
A 50 by 50 foot of lawn (2,500 square feet) releases enough oxygen for a family of four, while absorbing carbon dioxide, hydrogen fluoride and perosyacetyle nitrate.
