Merlyn 1,174 Report post Posted February 6 I have two babies of those with 2 foot long fronds. They are easy to handle...for now! How heavy are those beasts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KDubU 50 Report post Posted February 6 Those are huge! Have been considering a Caryota urens or maxima ‘Himalaya’ as the latter is supposedly a bit more cold hardy. Trouble is finding either of them, any ideas? I see Junglemusic has a 15g urens but that is not being shipped across country. @Merlyn would you mind sharing where you picked yours up from or did you grow from seed? Tks!

Merlyn 1,174 Report post Posted February 6 @KDubU I bought seedlings from a Thailand place, palmseeds.net. I bought Attalea Phalerata, Caryota Gigas, Arenga Pinnata, and Livistona Speciosa back in Dec 2018. I asked him about another order in April 2020 and he said that overseas shipments were going by boat, i.e. 30+ days. That was due to COVID, I am not sure if that's still the case.

Very heavy, they are way more wood like then most palms and there for much heavier. I have a long pole say to but them, one slid down the pole saw and slammed into my forearm, damn that hurt. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
