"strong" Sunlight vs temprature in regards to growth

[Palmfarmer]

Hey, as seen in my profile i live up in the mountains. it does not get very cold in the winter but like 15-20 normally. however the sun is still pretty damn strong since i am at around 24 degrees north. where does the lining go for most palms in regard to strong sunlight vs temprature? as an extreme example would let say a washintonia surivive and grow way up in the mountains at the  Equator at a constant of lets say 15-20 celcius year around with clear skies most of the time and would it do well? Kind of hard to explain this, but i hope someone understands my question, thanks

Would a palm let say go doormat at the Equator if we went even higher up to a place where the temps would be a constant 10+ but really strong sunlight. Would it just go doormat and die or would it grow?

Hi, Bogota Colombia is around 10-20C year round with most of the days grey skies and rain. They have some large robusta's, phoenix and even more king palms. I have never seen a queen though.

Yeah Bogota is a good example perhaps i totally forgot about it. do you now the growth rate of things there?

Large kings in the previous link (later both were removed). I think palms are kind of slow there. best to compare with street view. There are quite a number of kings in the center.

There you go, small robusta's and kings in one location. Streetview shows they are not very fast after 5 years of growth.

These kings planted in front of an apparent building are more impressive though, in 5 years
