'Foxy Lady' palms in garden

Two 'Foxy Lady' palms growing in the garden.  They have been quite fast growing, low maintenance beautiful palms.  A hybrid between Veitchia and Wodyetia that fruit regularly but I understand the seed is not viable (sterile) unfortunately.  I planted them far enough apart from each other to fully appreciate them in the landscape.

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!
