These two Hedyscepe were germinated in 2008 and are strong growers making nearly 3 fronds / year now . They take a while to adjust to full sun and once they do the fronds take on a more re-curved stiffer appearance .

plenty of seedlings that were germinated outside in the shade house last winter are from the palm in Pogobob's old garden .

It takes on a bit of an Areca catchu look when sun grown. I like it.

Troy, I'm very much looking forward to meeting you and your Hedeyscepes in July!

Is that the first leaf on those Hedeyscepe seedlings?

Looking great Troy!!! Quite big for that age i think! :)

How hot temperatures has it seen at your place?

Do they take sun even in hotter climates or can't stand sun with heat? I planted one a little smaller than Troy's in part day sun last spring and it melted in my August heat with just an hour or two of sun. Is this normal or bad luck? Another I planted in shade in quite a wet spot,so wet I was worried for it,is doing great.

I just got another one a week ago and I am trying to find the most suitable spot to do well and grow as fast as possible. So permanent shade? Shade as young and emerge to half day sun as trunking adult(or can't it take sun even as adult?) or slow acclimation to part sun as young one?

Troy,you are growing many and have seen even more in your many garden tours! What do you say? :)

Hello Kostas

All my Hedyscepe started out in a full sun location but with 50 % shadecloth over them for the firdt two years . Like Howea forsteriana acclimation to full sun is a very slow process and some sunburn is inevitable for at least two years . I expect at least 3 - 4 days that are close to 38 C every Summer and these are the days that my adjusting Hedyscepe sunburn slightly . My largest one that has the stiff leaflets has full acclimated to full sun now . It helps a lot to keep the roots really moist over Summer .

Very nice Hedyscepes. Eye candy for sure.

I can't wait to plant my two specimens out and adjust them to full sun. They'll be a picture of beauty.
