Hi everyone.

I got some Jubaeopsis seeds the other day, and although I've overlooked this species before, it's now really growing on me. So I want to see pics, lots of them of this species. Show us yours, and I'm especially interested in any habitat photos. Dennis?  :)

Best regards

Here goes Tyrone

My climate would be 95% similar to yours I'd say.

Planted in 1999 as a large seedling, flowering since two years.

Robert,

I had to go out and look at mine. It's looking fine, but has only opened one frond since you took the picture last year, but it has a spear about to open. I didn't cover it this year and its taken it down to about 26F (-3C) this year. I planted it where it would get some overhead protection from the blazing summer sun and also from winter cold, and it's not getting enough light to grow properly. I really don't think they are suited for our climate. I think they might do better in a Sunset zone 16 or an Oakland climate.

I gave the Palmatum one some years ago, but a sprinkler head blew off and it was drowned.  I thought, "what the heck" I'll try one myself this time. Mine looks fine, no blimishes, but very slow growing. They seem to grow best in S. Calif. and the ones I've seen in Florida don't seem to happy either. I think it's to hot in Florida for them.

Charles,

That's some serious growth in a bit over 8 years.  I wonder *how large* that seedling was!  I thought this was a slow palm, but I guess it really likes Portugal.

Thanks for sharing that pic.

I'm envious of anyone that can grow a Jubaeopsis in their garden. They are about as close to looking like a Coconut as any other palm.  They also have the added advantage of tollerating cooler temperatures, and having multiple trunks. They look splendid in S. Calif. and I don't know why some of you waste your time trying to grow Coconuts which are strictly tropical. With the last two winters in Calif, I don't think global warming is that close yet.

My sickley little Jubaeopsis has cost me over $300 with it's price and then shipping it from Florida by air. I was dumb struck when I saw one at the S. Florida palm sale, about the last place I would expect to find one. I would expect to find them in S. Calif. I'm wondering, what would a nice 5 gal. size cost in S. Calif., if they were available, and are they?

Thanks for the pics guys. I'm enjoying them. So it seems they do better where they get some cooler summer nights than the real tropics. As Dennis said in another thread, they come from almost the same latitude as my area, so I think these will just go nuts in my climate.

Keep the pics coming. Especially any habitat shots. You can learn a lot about a species by looking at where it grows naturally.

Best regards

I thought they come from a hot, dry climate.  I have noticed the more sun they get, the more color in the petiole.

I like the pic with Pohonkelapa (post 3), It shows the trunk well enough you know how the palm was named..  

Check your books, I won't say.           I feel politicaly correct tonite,........ for once

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Hi Guys

Ty I dont have any habitat shots at this time, my mate who was with me took the pics on a standard camera. This must be about 8 years ago....I wonder if he still has them???? I am seeing him next month and I will ask. I think Ed Brown may have some as he has been out to Pondoland.

The climate is sub-tropical (East Coast). The palms grow on the side of 2 (maybe 3) river valleys close to the Indian ocean (esturies). I doubt that the temp ever goes below 10c on the coldest winter nights. Summer days in the high 20's to low 30's and humid. I have been in the area in April and the weather was warm and humid.....Rainfall year round with an increase in Spring and Autumn.

Cheers

Dennis

I'm glad to hear this. Awhile back I was curious on how well they handled such heat and humidity.

Thanks
