Kim 3,440 Report post Posted August 26, 2019 It's been raining off and on this morning, so I've been looking through my recent photos and decided to do a New Leaf thread. Please add your own new leaf photos when you can. First up, Licuala peltata v. sumawongii. The huge round pleated leaves are stupefying. Dypsis coursii Dypsis 'Orange Crownshaft', 2 views Next, Dypsis "Dark Mealybug" backside view of new frond We all love the smell of a new Chambeyronia frond in the morning, especially v. Hookeri. Two shots of Calyptrocalyx pachystachys showing off their new leaves. I am especially thrilled to see this new Lemurophoenix frond opening to full size after some severe damage from the volcanic eruption down the street. Yesterday: Today: Post your fresh frond photos! 22 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

palmfriend 1,535 Report post Posted August 27, 2019 Since we had a very strong typhoon two weeks ago the garden still looks a bit shaken, but two or three hopefulls should always be found here or there... Transplanted a month ago and kept going pushing its newest leaf, opened a few days ago right after the typhoon hit us - Dictyosperma album. Looking almost perfect - planted out a month ago - the new leaf of my Dypsis robusta. (grown from seed) Just opened up and still unfolding - a new leaf of one of my Veitchia joannis... best regards from Okinawa - Lars 8 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tracy 4,824 Report post Posted August 28, 2019 Some Dypsis: a pair of the D. saintelucei, one of a D. heteromorpha and one shot of the D. crinita showing a little color. It is easier getting these of the smaller plants that are at eye level or if you can get above them in some cases. 5 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim 3,440 Report post Posted August 31, 2019 I am enjoying seeing new fronds on a lot of palms I do not grow -- not only beautiful, but also educational. Some palms change so much from seedling to juvenile to adult. Keep 'em coming! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim 3,440 Report post Posted August 31, 2019 First, Hydriastele rheophytica, a slender, delicate clustering palm. The two palms, then the new fronds. The fine leaflets of Beccariophoenix madagascariensis are difficult to capture with all the other greenery around. Two shots of the lovely Dypsis rosea. Johannesteijsmannia magnifica has been through a lot, but still producing new leaves! Pinanga caesia showing off mottling 4 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta love those variegated Rhapis excelsa! I have a potted one in my San Diego garden, maybe a tad more white in the variegation, it's a favorite. Had not heard of this form of Archontophoenix -- the reins are the distinguishing feature? Or other features as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or other features as well? Kim: The variegation in my Rhapis fronds isn't very white, more like a lime green, but still attractive. The reins on that A. 'teracarpa' frond aren't anything unusual, I just wanted to show a new leaf on mine today and that's how it looked. It's from Phil at Jungle Music who describes it this way: "ARCHONTOPHOENIX 'TERACARPA' THE BEST KING PALM EVER! This is a type of King Palm that comes from a large specimen in my personal garden. We named it 'teracarpa' - meaning 'big body'. No one has been able to identify it. It has a much thicker trunk, gets taller than the normal King Palm, is a more vigorous grower and does not brown tip in sun. In my garden it towers over regular Kings nearby and is much greener and prettier. There's a hint of silver on the back of the leaves and seeds are larger than normal King Palm seeds. All who have bought it say it's one of the best palms in their garden. Cold tolerant to about 25 degrees F. by estimation." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtsteve 1,279 Report post Posted September 7, 2019 I'm not thinking that these are impressive at all but they are new leaves. Kentiopsis oliviformis with a very big new leaf. Cyphophoenix nucele also showing increased leaf size. 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hillizard 1,377 Report post Posted September 7, 2019 Here's the newest leaf on my Hyophorbe lagenicaulis. It's enjoying its summer outdoors, but in order to keep it alive it spends half the year in my sunroom. Got it originally from a local big box store, though this species is not really well suited to our local climate. 2 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kentiopsis oliviformis with a very big new leaf. Steve, I actually find the Kentiopsis oliviformis new leaves which turn a bluish color after completely opening very attractive. I can look out the window from my home office and see one even as I type. I know that Rhopalostylis sapida already has the common name "shave brush palm" cornered, but in reality my KO's look far more like the shaving brush my grandfather and father used than sapidas do. Great palm to fill the right spot in my opinion. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put this in the ground as a little 1 gallon and it pushes out a couple of leaves per year at this size in my climate. I like the progression in leaf size! 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
