Interesting.... Did you have any L. nitida outside this winter?  If so, how did they fare?  Mine had some foliage damage but came thru ok.

Nope. We planted the biggest pair out this spring. Looking at the large ones at mercer they are clearly the most hardy livistona.  All the other livistona completely burned, these only partially burned.

Neat find will be interesting to watch.  I have a variegated Butia in Dallas that’s maintained it’s variegation into adulthood.  L. Nitida has been the most cold hardy livistona I grow in San Marcos.  L. Chinensis had 100% burn last winter, nitida was about 35%.  Fast grower too.

Spotted this anomaly amongst the sea of babies. Second varigated leaf looks promising.

Same experience in San Antonio so far regarding speed.  Bought and planted out one of Joseph's 1-gal seedlings in March and it's put out 6 palmate leaves so far and working on #7.  It's going faster than a similar sized L. decora.  I like the looks of the varigated one!
