Me either.  I kick myself because I didn't jump at the chance to buy one or more when I had the chance.  I thought about it...

I had some of these in the ground for a couple years but they eventually died. Not due to cold, but not enough water. I still think these could make it the right areas in Southern California, but unfortunately it's now impossible to find them to try again with.

Here's one growing at a nursery just outside Brisbane. Renda is a no grow here outside. Although it is showing some slight cold damage I thought it was looking pretty good now that we are well into spring. Had it been planted it might have fared even better.

I have the 7 and have to remember to change the picture size to 1:1 which is the smallest setting and below the 8MB limit on this site. Anything bigger than that fails to upload.

I have the same phone, but don't have PT on my phone. It takes a bit of work, but I email the pic to myself, then upload to PT from my laptop.

Searle, I took these pics back in March, when this palm was much smaller and not as well colored. This is the one to the left when you walk out of your living room.

Pipe dream here in Cali. IMHO. I lost both mine planted in ground first winter. One in a premo spot in my courtyard too. It was a big 3 gallon I got from Searle. Other was too small to plant out but I did anyway.

Here is a 12'-14' hybrid.

 

58186e18ef749_photocyrtohybrid6.thumb.JP

This is an 8' hybrid that was separated from the other one.  It is not a single but has 3 or 4 pups starting at the base.

58186f145823a_photocyrtohybrid8.thumb.JP

Viewing the bigger one from a different angle, about 90 degrees different angle.

I love the "watermelon" look.

Damn! Now that's freaking nice, Jerry! I have drooled over (Lol) this palm for years, ever since I started seeing the color show up. This palm is a winner for us that have one because of it's cold hardiness and still exhibit the red to reddish orange coloring. I am always asked.....what's your favorite palm, Jeff? Well, I think in my 30 plus years of never answering this, this lipstick hybrid is. I have grown these now for several years, studied them and I really do think this is my favorite palm. I love them!!!

Now that the supply of the hybrid seems to have dried up, is it possible to reproduce the ones that are out there by division?

I divided the one at the Arboretum, but now, considering that they are not making any new ones, will not take the chance of killing it.  Instead, I will wait a few years for it to start seeding and see what comes of that.

Interesting that they don't resume suckering once divided. Good luck with growing them from seed. It'd be nice to see this hybrid more widely available!

They do resume suckering.  The separated stem has a head start but look closely at the base of my pic and you will see new suckers.

I misinterpreted when you said "they are not making any new ones". I thought you meant that the divided stems don't make new ones.

No, I was commenting that the chance hybridization that created them in the first place is not occurring anymore, or the seeds are just not being harvested or cultivated.

Yeah I got it now. Hopefully the hybrid is stable, though at least the possibility to divide them is still there if it's not.

I've posted these pictures before, but this is one of the nicest palms I've seen, so here they are again. This is at Michael Norell's garden on Big Pine Key.

That is way cool. I would plant a hedge around my house with these if I could.

Hmm.

If they're swamp things, on top of needing more heat than we have here, I can't imagine them making it, alas.

So, are these a bit more cold hardy because they are hybrids? 

I wonder if I'd be able to keep one alive here in my "tropical desert"...? If they like the heat... like coconuts...maybe...?B)

I have planted 3 out at Leu Gardens. One has gone through 2 winters here. So far all 3 are still small, 2-3 ft. I'll get pics when I get back.

Those larger ones look awesome!!!

I have a small hybrid planted in the yard but it has not shown any color at this point.  Does anyone know if the color appears as it gets a little size to it?
