What is the difference between Foxtail & Foxylady seedlings? DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
I used a 4 foot bamboo stick I bought at Home Depot and tied it to the broken leaf. Mine's established and I still water it almost daily. Secondly, drought tolerance is typically referring to in ground established plants. I've always heard that Foxy Lady's like sun and are somewhat drought tolerant... From what I understand, this tree has been in the pot all along and was not recently potted from a field grown specimen.
I moved the pot to a shadier spot in my yard and applied copious water this morning, and went home at lunch and gave it another soaking. A plant like this that makes tons of roots hates being in a pot made for Hawaii or FL. The pool fence isn't nearly high enough for any shade for the entire plant, and it looks like the leaves are getting full sun most of the day, probably with low humidity.
- I’m hoping that the foxy lady will turn all green it only has 1 frond that is variegated.
- That palm is 100% solid dark healthy green.
- I don't want to give a utility an excuse to start cutting back other healthy palms in my garden that are even further from the phone lines than this one.
- Did not notice the variegation earlier but as Jim pointed out, on the lower leaf there it is.
- Initially that doesn’t look like the LPS I’ve experienced or seen; I think I would be more worried about the dark weeping spots.
- This would happen far more quickly for you than it does for those of us in the humid tropics where the plant tissues survive on atmospheric moisture for ages before the final collapse.
What is the difference between Foxtail & Foxylady seedlings?
The foxtails are the ones in community pots, and foxyladies are singles in 1 gal. It PROVES that it is a true foxy lady,as foxtails are almost never variegated. I've got several foxtails (probably too many, but it was the first "exotic" tree that I really liked), some common King palms, and some Kentias. Foxy Lady palms are incredibly fast growing palms and I think yours has a fighting chance if you get it in the ground ASAP and keep it's rootball watered. It never ceases to amaze me how little water rootbound palms in pots get, even if you soak them everyday.
I don't know the different rates of growth for them in Florida. Will the seed look like the one you show above, or is that just the f2? I didn't notice it until after the seedling got bigger...
I am good with the outcome either way, but if you really want to rid yourself of that 'ugly' plant,I am ready to adopt. I would LOVE to own that 'ugly' palm. I have 3-7g (one slight variegation) I have 3-3g foxy gold (one slight variegation) I do need to get better on checking my palm talk tho!
A guy in my area has them for sale pick up at 200 for a baby 1 gallon pot , he had 4 now he has 3 , i got one today and I am looking forward to watching it grow Regardless, good luck and hopefully you'll be able to get a hold of this great palm sooner rather than later.. Bigger " seeder " at Kopsick sits close to where the collection's Veitchia grove is located. I have little doubt that had it been spring, or this time of year, germination likely would have succeeded. If you're up to a good challenge, Kopsick Palm - Arboretum in St. Pete has a few specimens, at least one that can / has produced seed.
- 1 of each 3 and 7 is slightly variegated with 2 of each being greens.
- Can you tell me if this baby foxy is a full green ?
- You did not get a palm that was basically bare root and a palm you specifically said you did not want!!!
- So I have been watching this palm I acquired as a Foxy Lady as it has increasing leaned toward the south this summer.
- The F2 I am growing so far is hard to tell if they will have the vigor yet, but so far, so good.
- What I have noticed is that the width of the foxylady leaves tend to be a little wider and a little more dark hairs on the leaf bases.

From the pic seems like your palm flew across the country unharmed. Actually,light variegation is not a bad thing. Premier has sargentii seedlings and 7gal vinifera but they don’t know how to ship. I am lousy at keeping seedlings alive let alone sargentii seedlings!

Already have an account? Hot and dry in summer, humid and sticky monsoon season, perfect weather Christmas time One is variegated and the other is not?? Are they famous because they are the first to produce viable seed? Being in tropical Cairns, they were probably seedlings 3 yrs ago.

Difficult losing palms, but the more palms you grow, over time, we lose some; that's how it goes. I believe most of the time the seeds never germinate but very occasionally they do. I have some flowering/fruiting foxtails near an adonidia doing the same.
Unfortunately for you, you’ve got that nasty brown spotting along with the crown lean which makes it look like this one is on the decline. You can see how the trunk is starting to sort of concave a little on the side with the brown spotting. I guess I better start thinking about what I want to plant in it's place eventually. Yet another sign of demise after the last frond dropped is a horizontal crack in the most external crownshaft sheath.
Boron deficiency has been identified as the cause of palm leaning syndrome. I have a couple of other Foxy Ladies that I got roughly at the same time which each shoe different characteristics, but I digress from the issue. So I have been watching this palm I acquired as a Foxy Lady as it has increasing leaned toward the south this summer. Well mine has a sparse seed set that dropped today.
The collection has a few standard green Foxies, and a Variegated specimen whose crown receives full sun. FULL DISCLOSURE...these are not photos of my palms, nor did I take these photos. What’s the difference between the variegated and the green ? There’s been a couple times where large all green forms have been available, but it hasn’t been too often. Can anyone tell me where I can buy a small foxy lady or gear me in the right deduction thank you

By the looks of it, drying and wilting, what're the odds of a rebound if I get it in the ground with profuse water? I highly recommend that you just plant this. That thing is so root bound that you need to do slow drip like they do or just plant it.
