Yeah I had one sprout a while back but had some irrigation issues to my potted plants in my absence and it ended up drying out and dying. Never noticed seed on the variegated Foxy located in another part of the collection. Floribunda had some f2 foxy ladies a while ago. The one I'm growing in Leucadia is from the same source and purchased about the same time, as this and another "Foxy Lady" I have.
300+ palms, 90+ species in the ground Do you know if this palm was field grown, dug up, and then placed in its pot? Hello, I'm a novice collector and bought a 15 gallon foxy lady from a seller in Temecula, CA about 2 and a half weeks ago. In fact, about all the foxyladies that exhibited extreme variegation did not survive.
Can anyone tell me where I can buy a small foxy lady or gear me in the right deduction thank you Myolensis triple and the (now infamous) foxy lady… Last year I added three Beccariophoenix alfredii, which I'm really liking so far due to their hardiness, and some Areca palms. I caught the "Palm tree bug" a few years ago when my wife and I wanted to add some planters to our yard, and I've been turned into a palm-tree nerd, as i call myself, ever since. So today is my 24 hour soak, I added some super thrive to the water at 1 tsp per gallon and am hoping that my plant drinks it up!
Lots of people have been sold green 'foxy lady' palms in the past, that eventually turn out growing up into standard foxtails. When you germinated the seeds of the foxy lady and the foxtail did you plant them at the same time? My big green one enjoys full sun however and is the fastest growing palm in my landscape and I have hundreds of palms in the ground.
- Yep, I was told it's the mother plant genes that determine the fruit/seed so you can't tell an F1 hybrid without growing it!
- But I have had a foxy lady from came off of one of my foxtails….

- There is full green and mostly green.
- Beautiful palm hopefully it pulls through, good luck.
I've been growing this foxy lady a few years now and I think it's time to rehome her. Is there any way to tell if seeds are hybridized by looking at them as they develop? So my question would be if this palm is mostly green will it do well in full sun The green form tends to perform better in full all day sun than the variegated which burns more easily especially in hot dry sun. For the past few months, specimens are in the 1gal pot size, with the palm being around a 1’ in height, most are variegated form.
- I have 2 that look just like a foxtail.
- Last year I added three Beccariophoenix alfredii, which I'm really liking so far due to their hardiness, and some Areca palms.
- Do you know if this palm was field grown, dug up, and then placed in its pot?
- I can come pick up that palm at your convenience,deliver you $200 cash, plus the 3 Pseudophoenix seedlings in the pic if you would be interested in selling.
- I was advised by the seller to apply a kelp extract/ water mix, then heavy water every other day, with superthrive/ water every five days.
- I don't know the different rates of growth for them in Florida.

If so did they sprout around the same time frame? If there are variegated foxladies, they are obvious. 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. @here does anyone have Foxy Lady seed they would like to sell?

He is the only one to have a problem with their foxy lady order, and started to complain even before it was delivered. 1 of each 3 and 7 is slightly variegated with 2 of each being greens. Good quality plant and amazing growth. I bought a 7 gallon from Premier Growers about 8 months ago and it's already outgrowing the 25 gallon pot I moved it into. Here is the palm, looks very healthy aside from the obvious cold spots on the old fronds.
Note the smooth texture of the seed fiber compared to a course fiber foxtail. I do not grow foxtails, so there could not be a mix up there. I have plenty of foxtails and Veitchia arecina in the yard so maybe it did a cross back with one of them to become fertile? 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. Perhaps as a couple of adjacent palms get a little larger I'll have to be proactive and remove it, along with a -postmortem of what was happening internally at the weeping site.
Both are superbly grown, just needs to planted to adapt to So Cal conditions and watering. There are many other wonderful palms to grow where you are. There are more palms than Foxy Lady.

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 foxy gold casino dropped today. If this one produces seed, you should be able to tell if they have a chance.. While the largest would flower & produce seed often, most seed i'd collect were empty or basically liquid when opened.
Most likely a resold Rancho Soledad plant or a Florida import from Sparkman. But if there is actually "zero" movement, your palm is probably already dead. Even in the slowest sickliest palm, you should notice some movement of the spear – even 1/8 of an inch in a week assures that your palm is still alive. If you meant the spear has not moved at all, then your palm was in trouble from day one.

As Dean says, if it doesn't budge after a week or two of this shock, you may have a dead palm and one day the crownshaft will just collapse on you along with any green material that remains. 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.
Are they the same as an F1 growth rate? 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 have a Butia x Jubaea F2 that looks exactly like a Butia and growth speed is very similar to Butia.
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.
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.
Foxtails that I've grown all seem to throw one spear and sit for a long time (weeks to months), at which point they resume normal growth. Apparently when the greenies are much older they can also put out the odd variegated leaf. I ask because I have 3 one leaf seedlings and they all have variegation so I'm just curious if they'll all keep this as adults /topic/33571-producing-wodveitchia-seed/
There are no light colored green leaves and zero variegation. That palm is 100% solid dark healthy green. David the light must be playing tricks in the photo, this palm has zero variegation. Full greens do not have any variegation. They can be solid green without any variegation.
