    Hello everyone, my name is Aaron and I am glad to be here. I heard this was the place to be for new gardeners. I am a newbie. I have the basic knowledge but want to advance. I am transforming my yard into a tropical paradise. I have lots of palms in the ground already and many more germinating. I have a few fruit trees as well, with more coming. I look forward to picking your brains!! Thank you and have a great day!!

    Aaron

    Hello Aaron

    Nice to have another stewbie with palm trees. I love them, even though I only have a little dwarf Phoenix roebelinii.

    And of course - who does not like fruit???

    I am looking forward to your posts. Welcome. :stew1:

    Welcome to the Stew Aaron. Though we're deffinitly not having warm weather yet, I'm looking forward to the palm trees picts. Sometimes I think it'd be cool if we had the right weather to grow them here.

    Hi Aaron - I enjoyed your yard pics.
    I've had a pony-tail palm on my porch for many years
    and it seems to enjoy being a bit root bound, although that is probably my imagination; is it a true palm, or a member of a different family ?
    This question should be under a different topic heading, but I thought I would take advantage of your palm know-how. Thanks-

    Hi from northeast Wisconsin where it has warmed up to 10 degrees today! No palms here, but we've got a lot of pines.

    Thank you very much everyone.Quatro -gatos the pony tail palm is not a true palm. The ponytail is more in the lilly family. It just looks alot like it would be a palm. Here is a link with more info.http://www.floridata.com/ref/B/beau_rec.cfm
