Hey all,

I've got one of these guys that's ground ready. I have a place in mind, but am a bit concerned about the amount of AM sun that it will receive, particularly in summer. During the longest days of summer it won't be shaded until 1:00 PM. Wintertime, probably by 11:00. I'm about 1-1/2 miles inland from the coast. Otherwise, I like the area I've picked because it stays nice & damp most of the time. Any thought from the experts?

B/R's

I think Pinanga coronata (var. kuhlii) definetly prefers shady positions...They go best with filtered half day sun, under canopy and less wind possible. For warmer seasons I'd water them everyday and mist the fronds...My potted couple has grown more than a meter along the last year and forced their way out of the shaded cloth area.

Bret, I have a couple of P. coronata, they get morning sun and then evening sun. They are in pots so I can move them if I have to. I am no expert but my thoughts are that if they get sun until 1:00 in the summer that this may be too much. From what I've read this plant likes mostly shade. I am enclosing a picture of one from a friends house in Point Loma. This plant has been in the ground for a while. It is on the North side of his house in his backyard. I am not sure how much FULL sun it gets but i am sure it gets some sun but mostly filtered. Good luck.  MikeDSCN8198.jpg

Bret, I forgot to mention that if you look real close this plant is seeding. You can see the red color in the center of the picture. I took this picture on June 25, 2005. Mike

Thanks for the replies guys.

Great images too! I think I'll dig a hole, & set the pot in it for a while to see how it does. It would just look so cool there...
