Pseudophoenix sargentii from short Palms at Cape Cabaret

Recommended Posts

In January I went to a Buddy Holly tribute at the Cape Cabaret in downtown Cape Coral. On the way in I noticed several apparently "dwarf" trunked Pseudophoenix sargentii shorter than I am planted near the side walk. Two of them had ripe seeds and had dropped many on the ground. On the way home I picked the remaining seeds and took photos. I posted those photos last month in the following topic:

https://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/67082-pseudophoenx-sargentii-dwarfs-cape-coral-fl/&tab=comments#comment-974787

I questioned whether these palms were actually dwarfed like Areca catechus. Consensus was that they had been kept in pots for many years before they were planted, which resulted in their current appearance, i.e., there are no genetic dwarf P. sargentii. So you should not expect offspring of these seeds to replicate their parents if they are raised normally. 

In addition you can read a write-up on this species in the Palmpedia link below:

Coolness. I am glad you got some of the seed.

They will most likely turn out to be regular P. sargentii but the buyers could still keep the name on the plants as a variety, just for fun. It adds a bit of back story to a group of specimens. They would make interesting conversation pieces on a Forum topic or garden tour one day; as palm & plant people ask about your Cape Cabaret Buccaneer Palm.

"Eh... which Cape is that, is it in the Bahamas or near Cuba?"

"Nope, think tribute band..."

The temptation is high, but knowing I'll be like 104 before it has a trunk makes seeds for these difficult to spring for... lol.
