Euterpe edulis orange/colour/tomemtum

[Pedro 65]

Euterpe edulis orange here is gaining more colour and tomemtum and as the pics show some are growing much faster but the smaller are colouring and getting tomemtum even when small.

Feel free to post pics of yours incl you Mr Bill Austin

I'm sounding like a broken record, but there fantastic Pete, I scored 3 of them from Clayton last year, I'll post later on in the week, Pete mine range from 4" to 10" tall, what do you recommend at this stage, in full sun/shade, shade clothe ?

Thanks Paul

Those are very cool, beautiful palms. Is it my imagination or are the trunks a little thinner than usual for edulis?

[Walter John]

This was a beauty I saw at Jeff Searles Rainforest Nursery whilst on the biennial.

[Jeff Searle]

Thanks Wal! I think she's a beauty too. I have one planted at the nursery here but the same size as the one in the picture. I hope it does well in the ground here for us as we need more orange in the landscapes.

[LJG]

Looks like you planted quite a few Pete.

Again very nice and interesting pictures , Pete, Thanks,

I am looking forward to seeing my seedlings after 4 months in the ground.

Does E. oleracea have color and tomentum too?

[MattyB]

Here's mine today, standing at about 8' tall overall. I wonder if these show more orange in more sun.

[Bill Austin]

Here you go Peter, it's been raining here for 4 days so not very bright outside. This is about 12 feet now hoping to see a flower soon.

[Pedro 65]

Paul, are they still in tubes ? at 4" and 10" I would be certainly have shade cloth above.

Ben, they will get better looking with age ( as Bill has shown) and all Euterpes have quite thin trunks.

Wal, thanks 4 the pic of Jeffs, great colour already.

Len, there's 8 inground, glad they are starting to move.

Philippe, did you plant plenty ? re Oleracea... I wish it wasnt too cold here for them as they are beautiful Euterpes that vary in colour with their crownshaft, I personally have seen them green, orange and purple/black. With your climate and gardens in SrL , lots of Euterpe precatoria would look amazing.

Matty, looks great and in a yr from now it will be very orange, our brightest coloured 1 ( so far ) is in filtered sun, some are loaded with colour when tiny and some stay green till trunking in shade or sun.

Bill, thanks for the pic, its looking fantastic

Pete, all 3 are in the ground, along side the house, not getting any sun with the angle of the sun thru winter, but come summer they'll be getting full sun between 8am and 4pm atleast.

Paul, so they are going from "full shade" in winter to "full sun" in summer, hope they handle the change well.

Very cool! I had one that damped off, but I definitely want to try it again eventually. This is a great species for sure!

A strange bright yellow ball appeared in the sky today after 20 to 25 inches of rain in the last week or more, so I took the opportunity to get out and take a couple of photos of my Euterpe edulis with the orange-tending crownshaft;

My tree is about 10 to 12 feet tall, growing in full sun. I also show some larger, genetically-similar orange crownshaft edulis trees at Herminio's Nursery near Rio de Janeiro in 2010:

Now, if I could only find a way to send some of this rain to southern California.

Nice one Pete

Euterpe are such elegant palms, and with a little color, WOW!

Again very nice and interesting pictures , Pete, Thanks,

I am looking forward to seeing my seedlings after 4 months in the ground.

Does E. oleracea have color and tomentum too?

Philippe, E. oleracea has a dark purple-to-chocolate crownshaft, rather attractive. I haven't noted tomentum that I can recall.

That's nice, thank you George,

It seems all Euterpe are nice palms, color off the crownshaft and shape of the leaves...

looking forward to seeing more pics!

[akamu]

Nice Black E. oleracea those look awesome. Any one tried those In CA.

[Geoff]

many have tried... and all have died. Way too tropical for California. Here's a few more shots of orange Euterpe edulis (is this REALLY an true edulis?.
