The leaves are already coming out in a spiraling pattern around the TrunkDSC_2897.thumb.JPG.c42f7e83a3ee0b9f56304

Wow! :o Spectacular! How old/big was it when it rotated out of distichous mode?

Just "fantastic" with those huge leaves, wow!

Love the setting with the giant royals around it. Beautiful!

it really seems that Tahina IS THE PALM for lucky old IPS and Palmtalk members, I wonder when and how I'll get such a beauty ...

Thanks for posting.

Kim - I think it started rotating about 2 years ago.  I don't have my records on this but you can calculate that from the time the first seeds were offered to the public.

I actually regret planting it so close to the Royals -- the falling leaves cause serious damage to the Tahina

Gene, Such a great palm, very hardy here and beautiful at that. The one at my clients garden is in pretty poor coastal soil but a strong grower. Yours is

spectacular. Looks like we are all saving the specie.

Gene,

That's a great looking Tahina! It looked fantastic when I visited you back in February this year, but it seems to have grown quite a bit since! :) Keep it up! :greenthumb:
