Corypha in San Diego

Recommended Posts

Came across this Corypha in SD while staying in La Jolla.  Pictures don't do justice. It's spectacular! Owner may be here on palmtalk & if so, I'd love to know when it was planted & from what size?  There was a ton of over palms but only snapped a quick pic of this Corypha, didn't want to intrude.

I’ve seen it as well, it’s really something. I think there’s an older thread that had some pics from a few year back..

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!

 Got it! Thanks Bill for the link.  It looks like it grew quite a bit since last year. I wish I used my daughter as a reference but she didn't want to get out lol. I'd put overall height about 20ft. + now!

Coryphas are gigantic palms. Thought should be given before they are planted. Saw a house with a couple of Coryphas planted a little too close and the owner was thinking about dynamite...

That’s how you unlock the secret to “explosive growth”.

Yes. Upon driving up that hill, you'll see gorgeous palms.

Well done Steve! I frequently work in the area and try to drive by when I can... Just last week I was thinking how big and great looking it was and should post an update! Yay!
