Hey all, 

This is a palm that has been discussed a handful of times over the years. Seems like it was available for a couple of years and then it’s availability just dried up. I’d love to see how they are faring in everyone’s garden. For me, it’s been a pretty slow grow, but it has been steady. Maintaining a good green color has never been a problem, as it only gets partial sun throughout the day. It’s about head high now. It doesn’t love winter, but it deals with and pushes 2-3 fronds a year. Please post your experiences and pictures. Here are a couple of mine..

Its base is about 8” across. Unlike some Raveneas, this one had a heal. Thanks for looking!

Alas, I planted a nice two-galloner back about 12 years ago. Never looked good or grew, and finally died.

Thanks Meg & Dave. I remember getting some of the initial ones (seedlings from FB) & they slowly damped off on me.  A year or so later he had them in one gallon size & it made all the difference. It's a pretty common story in my part of the world without much of a greenhouse.
