Another Chamaerops humilis Vulcano

[PalmatierMeg]

Back around 2010 I germinated seeds of this dwarf Chamaerops from an island in the Mediterranean Sea. They were generously sent to me by a palm lover in Rome. I kept and planted about half a dozen seedlings that appeared to show Vulcano traits, which show up across a range. A couple years ago I posted photos of my primo palm on the north side of my garden lot. These photos are of one of its siblings, which shows almost as well.

Thanks for showing us what to expect from this C. humilis variety as a juvenile. My 6 'Vulcano' sprouts (from RPS seed) are entering their second year, so it's still too early to see those characteristic traits yet (I think you mentioned that in a previous post).  I was surprised to see some spotting on their leaves during our recent NorCal cold weather. I guess as seedlings even this hardy species can be tender under certain conditions!
