I'm getting super stoked on this palm. Here's a really nice one I saw today at Leu Gardens in Orlando, Fl.  Can you guys share some pics?  I'd love to see them

Um, I think my only photo of the species is the same Leu specimen.  Today was genuinely hot.

Nice visuals...

But i feel that those growing in "Nong Nooch Tropical Garden" Thailand do have better colour.

Love,

Kris.

Mine is so small imagination is required to think it could ever look like these. Good thing I have plenty of spare imagination!

Yes, the ones at Nong Nooch made me have to try this one. The cattle thought the fronds were quite tasty, but it survived.

I have never seen Leu gardens in many visits to the state. Hmmm... Thanks for the photos!

Beautiful palm, but don't know of anyone that has had success with it here in SoCal.  Those specimens from Nong Nooch are near the top of the list for the best blue/white palms anywhere.  They put most Bizmarckia to shame.

Here is my very tiny but tough tree. Believe it or not, in the ground since 4/13as a seedling. However previously obscured by vines between visits, chewed by cattle at least twice and partially shaded by a breadfruit tree branch. One tough tree! Hope it will look like the photos in this thread eventually if the cattle can stay in their pasture.

I was inspired by the visual impact of the display on the side of a pathway at Nong Nooch, so I planted these along my driveway (farther enough back to not interfere with power lines 20 years fro now) in Oct 2012.

When they were planted, the leaves barely rose above the level of the blocks, so these are one of the faster growing Copernicias. Heres a closeup of the second from the left:

These three have really grown since this photo was taken. I can now see that they were planted too closely. I will post updated photos this weekend.

These really do speed up with time.

Scott, can I see some close ups of the trio--maybe they are not hospita... speeding up is not really a hospita kinda thing and they have a textilis look to them...

In my beach garden I do notice a massive growth spurt when palms hit the ground water ,which is just 12 feet down. My C.hospita in my highland garden is from the same seed batch and has not had this growth spurt. It is slow and steady.

Right, but they are different looking as well--the highland palm has nice color. you could get hybrids from the same seed batch.

This pic melted my heart, absolutely stunning!  One of my top palms for sure.  What is the cold tolerance of these things? if one has grown to that size at Leu Gardens perhaps they can take temps a bit below freezing?

Corpus Christi, TX, near salt water, zone 9b/10a! Except when it isn't and everything gets nuked.
