Parajubaeing torallying 1 2

A picture like this was a dream for me 8 years ago when with the help of some IPS members in California, Florida, Europe, N.Zealand and Australia i started a big harvest of Parajubaea torallyi, (and its variegations from Bolivia) seeds for intro into a massive cultivation.- Yet i remember how i was protecting its tinny first leaf of our winter cold as to be a precious jewell.- Now i can show a picture of one of the many growing in my backyard. This come from a seed germinated in 2002, so, it`s 6 years old.- I have so many that under some viewpoint im not palming anymore, if not just Parajubaeing.....:-) Im sure that soon, in the nexts years will start to build fr…

I can't remember whether I have asked this before( done a search and can't find anything) How significantly different are the trunk sizes, both in height and diameter of mature Parajubaea torallyi var torallyi verses microcarpa? Regards Andy.

Parajubea at big box labeled as Fish Tail???
by James B- 7 replies
- 547 views
I was at my local big box store and was surprised to see huge 24” box size Parajubea with a big sign saying Fish Tail palm. However the price tags on the palms say Parajubea Sunkha. These palms are huge over 15” across the base almost as wide as the boxes they are in. Does Sunkha get that big? Are are they wrong on both accounts and these are Torallyii?

Parajubea coccoides

Hey all, I thought I’d share this picture of my neighbors palm. It’s been in the ground for about 13 years. I frankly figured that it would die of something long before it reached this point. It’s had 4 or 5 episodes of crown rot and once developed trunk rot due to a dripper being too close. But amazingly it’s always responded well to treatment, and comes roaring back. It’s looked great for the past few years. For whatever reason, this species often grows well around here, and then up and dies. So this is a nice treat. Thanks for looking!

Parajubea Cocoides Issue
by sodak- 12 replies
- 972 views
Hi, Has anyone in California experienced crown rot problems with their parajubeas? I have had one in the ground in San Jose for 20 years and it has been growing beautifully. Now, all of a sudden, instead of spears pushing out of the crown and then opening into leaves, smallish leaves already opened are coming out and they do not look healthy. Do I have a potential crown rot problem, and if so, what can I do? I would hate to lose this beauty. It is the centerpiece of my front garden. Thank you, Michael Fjordback San Jose, CA

Parajubea germination
by MattyB- 24 replies
- 2.2k views
Parajubaea I remember a bit of talk about germinating these buggers but only found one thread on the old forum about it. El Blanco had 100 seeds of P. cocoides that hadn't germinated after a year. That was September of 2005. Any update Jeff, now that it's been 2 years since sowing? I have a question too: Should I sow them in a deep tupperware container and keep them moist until a leaf is emerging? Or, sow them in a shallow tupperware container and remove the seed and plant in a pot as soon as a radicle emerges? Or do I just fly by the seat of my pants and my guess is as good as any with these guys? Since we don't have any threads about germinating this genus on…

I am looking into a 15 gal parajubea. They are nice size plants but rooted into the ground they are growing on. Is this similar to bismarkia in the fact that they will not survive if the roots are torn in anyway? Thanks. Mike

Hello Everyone - Have not posted in some time but I do lurk around here often. Question - I should know this, but I do not. Are Parajubea Species monocarpic (die after flowering)? I do not think so. I just noticed my Torallyii is sending our 2 inflorescense spikes. This tree is massive and has yet to set a trunk. I am putting in a proper greenhouse in front of the tree and want to deal with it now if I have to. Wheelbarrow for scale Thank you, Jeff

I've heard a few varying opinions as to whether this palm tolerates and/or thrives in really hot conditions. After drooling all over Steve in San Diego's beauty last week I'm wondering whether it's a good choice for me here in Woodland Hills. Is there a consensus out there?

Parajubea Toryallii

Parajubea got a haircut today. I noticed a spear looking rather peeked. Any of you deal with this? Tree is 15 or so years old and massive. Hot house ridge line is 12’ for size scale. I got in the crown and tugged the spears coming out. All seem intact and none gave way. I figure a few rounds of copper fungicide should fix it. Would hate to lose this one. Thx!

Parajubea...
by Patrick- 31 replies

Hey guys! I'm thinking about getting myself a parajubea, but I was hoping to get some advice in choosing the most suiting one. Of course we all want them because they are cold hardy- and they look great too. But does anyone know any advantages of one over the other? There's P. torallyi- it takes down to the low twenties & gets pretty tall. P. sunkha- a little shorter, allegedly a little more cold tolerant P.microcarpa-another P. cocoides-and yet another...! Everyone talks about how much cold a palm can take but very rarely do you hear about the type of HEAT these palms can take. Can anyone elaborate a little more on this subject? Thanks! We get really h…
