I have to grow them in an indoor atrium so the tiny stature is a huge plus for me as they will never hit the ceiling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tracy S 202 Report post Posted December 10, 2017 4 hours ago, topwater said: Knock out! How does 'Marie" vary from type? It's the red form from PNG. It was introduced by Maria Boggs and so named Marie. For more palm porno, see http://www.palmpedia.net/wiki/Areca_macrocalyx_var._'Marie'. The color is highly variable as the old leaves drop off. Sometimes the red is barely discernable and a few weeks later that same palm gets super red like this. It keeps you going back for more like waiting for the chambeyronia macrocarpa to open it's new leaf. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, post photo emerging leaves have not shown color. Don't think its a hybrid. Picked it up at Paradise Plants in Hilo. They are not known as a specialty palm nursery that would carry something unusual like a hybrid C. renda. It was one of several C. renda that they were selling and the only one with reddish emerging leaf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My regular A. macros are about 5 ft to the top of the spear and are just starting to show some color on the new leaf bases. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What else do you have growing there? Pan right a bit with that camera and show some more plants, if you don't mind. It look really protected and I'm guessing you have some more gems in there.

You guessed right about the enclosed atrium, 11b oasis in my 9b world Texas world. I’m open to suggestions as to what to plant but it has to be able to take some sun in the remaining spots. The above Areca is to the far left, next is L. grandis, another A. macro., and a Hydriastele beguinii. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live in zone 10a/10b but I can't seem to resist zone 11 plants. (I might have a palm problem ). Anyway, please plant a cyrtostachys renda, salacca magnifica, chamadorea turckerheimi, Licuala Mapu, Licuala salehana, and a lemurophoenix halleuxii. For starters! Let me know if you have more room and I will suggest additional palms. Oh, put in some red gingers please alpinia purperea.
