It is about time to for my second update on my Bismarck Palm Tree ( Bismarckia nobilis ). I purchased this gorgeous Palm Tree about 3 years ago at the height of about 3 feet tall. It was stained from well water and needed some attention. If you would like to read my previous posts containing information and view the pictures of this Palm Tree please CLICK HERE.
At any rate my last update was June of 2008. The magnificent Palm Tree was still around 3 feet tall. Since then alot has changed. Steady fertilizer and proper care has driven my Bismarck Palm Tree to grow to a height of about 6 feet! All of the well water stain is gone and it has filled out like a champ.

While Thanksgiving is a wonderful day to begin with, it gets better when you score some cool Palm Tree seeds. I was over my in laws house for Thanksgiving this year and they have a really cool Palm Tree in their front yard that was seeding. The Palm Tree is a Piccabeen Palm Tree ( Archontophoenix cunninghamiana ). This Palm Tree also goes by the names Bungalow Palm Tree and King Palm Tree.
This Piccabeen Palm in particular was about 20 feet tall and very healthy. They get the name King Palm because they can reach soaring heights of anywhere from 50 to 80 feet tall. They are native to South East Australia where they are considered a weed. These are fast growing Palms, growing at a rate of about 1-3 feet per year and germinate really fast too. These Palms are happiest in USDA zones 9-11. With the Bungalow Palm you have to water it regularly or it will look horrible. If watered regularly it will look amazing. The Piccabeen Palm Tree has bright green pinnate leaves about 8-10 feet long.
Here are some pictures of the mother tree that I harvested my seeds from.
