Just read the thread on the yellow Adonidia and it's need for shade and began to wonder if the yellow form of Areca catechu also needs shade. We have two - both getting about three hours of Kona afternoon sun - and they are looking a bit ragged. One is roughly 2 1/2'; the other 4'. Both have been in the ground about 3 months. (If it doesn't rain tomorrow I'll add some photos to this post.) I love their golden color and want to transplant them immediately if they need shade. Anyone else growing -or familiar with- them?

I've got some little seedlings, but they have not been put to the test outside so I can't answer your question. I doubt these would be as sun tolerant as the green variety.

Best regards

I would treat them like adonidia, if I were you. The only one I saw growing was in Bogor in the full sun... mind you Bogor is equatorial and it has the highest rainfall in Indonesia, so humidity is high & cloud cover is more often than not...
