It must be nice to have a garden like Jeff's with surprises every morning. Here is another, along with his comments in his email to me.

That is possibly the most beautiful palm in the world.
I would give just about anything to be able to grow that in So Cal.

There is something spectacular about this palm standing alone in Jeff's garden, but my reason for having more than one would be knowing my luck the gophers would eat it just when it's getting trunk and I would not have a back up.

If I could grow it and I had the room, I would plant many. But never a grove of these palms. As Jeff's plant shows, it is to nice to be bunched. It must be singled out to appreciate its full glory. But like Bo said, to each their own.

I remember seeing Mark Daish's one up in FNQ just before Cyclone Larry snapped it in half just as it was getting it's first inflorecence,and now i know why he was so devastated over his loss.Since then his substitute Lemur has survived Cyclone Yasi and hopefully getting some size to it now.Daryl's one is probably the biggest in SEQ as far as i'm aware of(My 4 are still quite small),but despite their high price i still think their worth trying once just because they're too beautiful for words ...Cheers Mike Green(Newcal)

Every 20 years or so it gets cold enough to kill arborescent Ficus benjamina to the ground.
We have a few Royal palms in the warm microclimates.

This is torture. Zone pushing...knowing one's limitations...$100 for a seedling. And I still want to try. Can a Lemurophoenix be grown on the equator, in front of the ocean, with a long dry season? All kidding aside, I have small microclimates and areas of the garden that get their fair share of water, it's pretty warm year round, but I'm not quite on the equator. Can anyone out there give me hope or should I just listen to Peachy and look for another palm? Peter

I would concur. I had a lot of trouble with two seedlings I put in full sun here eight years ago. One I gave up on, and the other is still dinky. However, I planted three five gal size in half and half exposure, and they are doing great. So for inland SoCal I would think they would need considerable shade until fairly large.Gary, good call taking it. I think you might pull it off. After a few attempts I believe Mardy thinks 100% shade here. Let it grow slow in shade. Maybe under the Oak or Kingali.
As said above, if taking those considerations in mind, I don't see any reason this palm wouldn't flourish on the equator. Of course, a long dry spell as a small plant should be avoided. In your mountain site, I don't think you would have any problem - the low-mid 50s at night a month or two a year haven't affected it at all here.This is torture.

I put mine in the ground last spring. It has put a single leaf out since then and that was a spear when it went in the ground. At this rate, I'll have to live beyond the geriatric stage to see it mature. But I can dream about it.

That is such an awesome palm! This has to be the most stunning palm species in the world (at least for a large single trunk palm). If I was Mr Marcus, I'd be rubbing that crownshaft until it was bright pink! Like a giant single stemmed Sealing wax palm!
