Another Curb Side Find

 

Above is the sidewalk Beau and I were walking on, the house that had these plants at the curb in a pile of trash, is the big trees right center. The corner on the left under the big tree is Beau's PeeMail box. Every dog in the corner leaves a message there sooner or later.

While walking Beau, I found three pots with palms in them, sitting on the trash pile. they had been in the yard for years and were not doing well in the shade under the trees.

 They were looking pitiful. I came home and took the car back and had Bob lift them in the back. The middle one is a Pony Tail Palm, the two others are palms but there are five similar and to ID will have to wait until they grow a little. It could be Cane Palm, Areca, Fantail, Coconut or a Cat Palm. I am leaning towards Cat Palm Or Cane, very similar.

 All of them will live indoors in pots, or grow to be trees outside.

Cat Tail Maybe

Each of the these 2 pot had many dead fronds and i forgot to take photos before I cleaned them up. They will all remain in pots, since it is easier to care for them.. They like to dry out completely and have easy to drain loam or the dry sand of Florida. They will get root rot if to much water. Perfect for drought and now I know why drought doesn't harm all our palms.

Below is what the pony tail will look like in yard or indoors. the pony tail I found is worth 45 dollars as it is.. the bigger they get the more valuable. 

Below is Cat Palm indoor and outdoor in a pot and if you plant it in the ground in Florida it will take over the property in a few years. taller than the roof line.
