PALM TOUR at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens — Ep. 316

Nipa are also found in the Philippines. The leaves are used as roofing material. Wine is also derived from it.

Nice show,please do a video on fairchilds cycads!

Licuala Spinosa?

Fairchild has a busy event schedule. They also host commercial photo shoots and private parties.
Helps pay the rent...

1 question : WHERE is that botanical garden ? Are we supposed to know ???????

So beautiful I love palms 🥰🌴

In the Phils. We made wine out of Nypa and we called it Nipa wine

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Such wonderful palms. However if you visit Asia... Those featured Palms were just all around the nearest forest. Or parks.

These walkarounds with the curators are great

Very Nice video! Thank you for sharing.

Growing up, we lived by the river. Nypa palms thrived on both sides of the river banks. We enjoyed very much the nypa fruits. Now, it's so hard to find....
The one shown early in the video is closed to maturity. Soon, the fruits will fall off and great for reproduction. In Malaysia, one bunch of that nypa can weigh around 30kg.
Like coconut, the nypa fruit is delicious to eat when it is still soft Too young, it's meatless, you can only enjoy the natural sweet nypa water.

Summer, please consider an episode just for nypa palm 🌴 So much to explore. Great content as usual. TERIMA KASIH ❤❤❤

the first two palm species are very common in the Philippines and a very important food source as well

Wow nice

Hey, Summer. Nice job on your Bad Seeds podcast. I didn't know how to comment there but great job enlightening us about plants gone missing from their habitats...and who is behind it so it can get nipped in the bud. You are a true champion of the plant kingdom.

Licuala Ramsayi are common in our Queensland rainforests. Nice palm.

I really wish that Cyrtostachys Renda hybrid with C .Elegans was available in Australia. The regular Sealing Wax or Lipstick palms grow easily in the more northern tropics in Australia but here in the outer tropics and subtropics they don't do well because winter nights can be a little too cool for too long for them to survive , though I've never lost one to the cold , I have to letting them dry out . They need lots of water .
They're actually an Equatorial palm that need equatorial conditions.

I wonder if any of the species shown become invasive in the Florida Everglades?

I wish I had Summer´s sense of smell, I really miss out on that realm of life, but I live vicariously through Summer and her descriptions. Cheers, love from Bogotá

I listened to the podcast today at work! Loved ittt! Can’t wait for more 😊

amazing. all these fairchild videos are just incredible.

I could see fish being the dispersal force for those seeds. Imagine them getting into the water.

Thanks for the palm tour ! Could you tell us , please, What was the name of the orange stemmed palm that was was the hybrid of the red sealing wax
Palm , that Brett said handles the weather better in Miami ? Thanks 😊

So interesting! Great tour with Brett Jestrow, love palms! 🌴🌿💚

I would like to know more about the flogger they use at Fairchild,for the rain forest area. Thanks

I was hoping they'd expand about how useful the parts of the Nypa palm. The leaves are used as a roofing material, the fruits are edible, the sap you can turn into vinegar, alcohol, and sugar.

Loovedd the podcast!! It’s so cool! I hope there’s more episodes soon!

Such gorgeous palms! I used to think that palms were a waste when it came to increasing fauna biodiversity in our neighbourhoods because I always saw birds choosing to nest/perch/shelter in fruit trees or flowering trees but as of late I’ve started realising how some of the most unique reptiles usually make homes at the top of palms so that they’re protected from predators. I’ve gained a whole new appreciation for palms since and it’s so cool seeing all of these in your videos! I’m surprised Fairchild doesn’t have Bismarckia nobilis in their collection though!

I know this is wishful thinking but I’d love for you to cover some plants from the Congo basin! There are so many incredible plants in the jungles of Central West Africa and because the species there of flora and fauna haven’t been studied much, it’s sort of an untapped goldmine (sadly also one of the places with the most poaching for the black market). I’ve been obsessed with the Marantochloa manni as of late and I think Fairchild has them!

A wonderful guided tour! I love this type of production Summer. Thanks for all you do!

Nypa is all over the southern vietnam mekong river...

Thank you Ms. Summer. 🌷💚🙃

Stunning! Love the palm content 🌴

A really good look at palms and their unique structures. Exciting that there are still new and unidentified plants in the wild.

Damn, I'm a minute and a half in and already learning about palms I've never heard of - a mangrove palm?! 😮 What a great tour! 👌👌🌴
