my beloved palm... :(

Look this, that soon to be 20 years old palm hit on the ceiling of our office room real soon... :( We really don´t know what we do with that palm when it carry on grow bigger and bigger. I asked gardener for the advice how to cut them off without kill them.

They explain that the palm have to threw away if the baby root comes... but it never comes... :( I went back to gardener again for the advice. He said simple that we have to threw palm away if palm hit on the ceiling.

Some said that I can cut palm off without kill them... My hubby and I are doubt either we can cut the palm off or not...

That´s palm, we bought few days after married and move to Germany in September 1985.






I would be appreicate for your feedback how to save that palm...

i talked to my dad recently on the phone since he is foreman landscaper for 17 years.. he said you can put your palm tree outside by the house or shed .. digging deep as like 3 feet .. then buyin alot of fresh soils to around them.. water them as you can .. when gettin cold .. wrapping them as weaved brown like potato bag or thin bed sheet around it with rope around.. so it won't harm your palm tree!!

I told my co-workers what you and K75 said. They heard something about this but they are still unsure either the palm survive because the winter time in Germany are very cold between -5 to -15 minus. I will ask the gardener again about this.

I googled "Palmlilie" and got pages saying it is Yucca. So, yes, it has to be yucca. ;)

http://www.kuebelpflanzeninfo.de/zimmer/yucca.htm

I have three of them at my parents' home in NJ; and I have a red yucca here in my home in Utah. Yuccas are very popular plants in the West because it thrives on drought and hot conditions. I grow it outside in NJ and Utah and it will survive snow and cold too.

tells you which plant can withhold cold temperature, some can withstand up to -30°C!!!

Here is a picture of one of my yucca plants in NJ:

Yes, the picture you post is an exact same what I have 2 at my garden call "Yucca glauca" but it's different picture what I show you here.


I found out that the picture I show you call "Spineless Yucca (Yucca elephantipes)"

This is Spineless Yucca

I am surprise after check different opinions of gardener who know about Yucca. Some say that Spineless Yucca is belong to indoor, some says it can stay outdoor... I need to find out more until we are 100% sure what we can do with our darling palm.

Thank you for share your link here with us. :thumb: and also your feedback, too.

You will be surprise that we have many kinds of yucca palms when you see my link... :eek:

I take care of green plants and cactuses with water from rain water. I use to bottle the water from rain water ton and leave bottle for few days before water any plants and cactuses. Depend on different plants and cactuses who do not need water often...


I fertilize them once a week with overleft cold water from unpeel potatoes or overleft water from boiled eggs.
You must buy right earth for green plants and cactuses.

Yeah, palm is around 10 feet tall... :eek: I just found out that palm call "Spineless Yucca" and not sure either they survive at outdoor during winter time... ??? I'm still searching to find out and collect the feedbacks from everyone here or there.
 
Ok, now that we know exactly which kind of yucca it is. You are right, there are many kinds of yucca plants. Just like cactus plants. Some cactus plants can survive in winter with snow, and other cactus can't. Same for Yucca plants.

I just checked "spineless yucca" and it is NOT cold-hardy. It is only hardy to -4 C.

I think I would try to cut it up and to make several pots of yucca plants. LOL. If I had to kill it and throw it away, then I wouldn't mind trying to cut them up and pot them up to see if they work. That's me though.

Yes, it´s exact palm...

Kill it after 20 years care :ugh: *sobbing*

It would be heartbreaking if it happened to my palm by mistake after 20 years take care. That´s palm is special and value to me. :ugh:

I told my hubby what I received feedback from people here. He think it´s good but we are still scare that our palm might be dead if we make mistake... I will try other gardener.




Sabrina, you impossible funny :rofl:
 
<------born with a black thumb :sadwave:

Wish I have your green thumb, Liebling! I usually kill plants or flowers after a few days! :laugh2: I am really impressed with your 20 plus years devotion to your plant! Wish I couuld help out but you wouldn't want my advice if it is going to kill your plants. :Ohno: :D
