Incredible.  With the different species growing so closely together and due to their dioecious nature, I wonder if they produce hybrids?

Great shots from the square. There were hundreds of seed on the ground. Too bad it melts here.

IMG_7784.thumb.JPG.1eb245ea665902a26bbcdJust have one C. alpinum and I can say it's growing at roughly twice the speed of my C. quindiuense. My three other Ceroxylon species are too young to judge growth rates. I keep them all well watered particularly during heat spells.

What an amazing place. The town there was just as stunning as the palms. Would loved to have stayed longer.

Maria and Rodrigo pointed out the different species often flower at different times of the year. Thus hybrids are less likely.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Be honest Bill, hybrids or not, you are bummed you can't grow them after seeing them in habitat  :crying:

Can you imagine all these towering palms instead of the Washingtonias? :D

Dude. We DO grow them! Our moderator Dean has/had some near trunking, now at his sons house. And Pauleen Sullivan(RIP) has several growing at her place and her apartments. :D :greenthumb:
