Gallerie de photos personelles

Welcome to my photo gallery. Here I will gradually introduce more and more photos as my palm collection increases. In my garden I currently have one Trachycarpus Fortunei, one small Phoenix Canariensis and One larger Phoenix Canariensis. I hope to expand my collection to include Washingtonias.

The garden itself is located near Saint Jean d'Angely in the departement of the Charente Maritime (17) in South West France. Although generally speaking the area has very mild winters and warm summers, there are exceptions where temperatures can fall to -10�C at night. Although these occurances are very rare and will only happen in exceptional winters it can still cripple the Phoenix Canariensis during a cold snap so this species is still considered a risk to be planted communally.

Bienvenue sur mon page de photos personelles. Ici vous trouviez des photos de mes palmiers que j'ai plant� l'ann�e derni�re. En ce moment mon collection n'est pas tr�s grand mais je planterais beaucoup plus de palmiers dans les ann�es suivante.

Le jardin est situ� pr�s de Saint Jean d'Angely dans la d�partement de la Charente Maritime (17). En ce moment j'ai plant� un petit Phoenix Canariensis, Un Trachycarpus Fortunei et un Phoenix assez grand. Les hivers sont g�n�ralement doux mais dans des hivers exceptionelles le temperature descend jusqu'a -10�C . Donc mon Phoenix Canariensis a besoin de protection hivernale.
This is the larger Phoenix of the two, planted in Aughust 2000 I deliberatly chose this spot as it was close to a south facing wall and it blended in well with the patio. It was well watered in the first two to three weeks after planting as the very hot weather meant that the ground was very dry.

Voici le plus gros Phoenix que j'ai plant� au mois d'Aout. J'ai choisi cette endroit parce que c'est tr�s proche d'un mure qui fa�e sud. Je pense aussi qu'il vas tr�s bien avec le nouveau terrasse! lors'que il faisait tr�s chaud j'ai l'ai arros�e beaucoup parce que le sol �tait tr�s sec.
The first palm I planted in the garden was this Trachycarpus Fortunei. After finding it going cheep in Aughust 99 in the local garden centre, (I only paid 15 pounds for it!) I decided it was worth the money even though it was in quite bad condition at the time. After some care and attention though it has pulled through and now looks great! This palm requires no protection in my garden.

Le premier palmier que j'ai plant� dans mon jardin �tait le Trachycarpus Fortunei. Je l'ai trouv� vraiment pas chers dans le jardinerie dans les soldes et j'ai pay� que 150F pour cette palmier. Quand je l'ai achet� il n'�tait pas dans un tr�s bon �tat, mais apres un peut de patience et travail il est maintenant tr�s beau.
