Chamaedorea radicalis, tree form

Recommended Posts

I offer 5 seedlings of this palm for $50 plus $15 shippping, delivered by USPS Priority Mail, anywhere in the contiguous 48 states.  These are fat little palms ready for ground planting. and are 2.5 years old. They are greenhouse grown and not hardy for direct sun.

 I recommend that they be planted very close together,  (6 to 8 inches apart), as the adult plants are rather sparse.  Here are 2 images of the sale seedlings.  I  prefer PayPal,  PM me for my address.  Thanks !

Heads up - I had two of these in ground during the Texas Winter Freeze. Neither had much trunk - maybe six inches at most. One died, one survived. The dead one ain't coming back in any way, shape or form since these don't cluster. I had one large acaulescent one that took almost no damage, whereas my in-ground seedlings frozen but came back. I'm not sure what our lowest temperature was - probably between 12 and 14 degrees. In contrast, my clump of C. microspadix lost a few canes but had several survive. New plants are coming up around the dead canes.

Good luck with these outdoors in zone 8a. Probably best to keep them potted. Try to get some C. microspadix and acaulescent C. radicalis.

Thanks. 

I've got some microspadix as well.  I know of a fellow palm enthusiast growing both in a similar area, and his radicalis seem to fare better than the microspadix.  These are all sheltered, next to the house, under the overhang of the roof.  If temps get below 20f, I will probably throw a plastic container over them. And maybe insulate if it gets stupid cold. 

The microspadix are a few feet tall, and if temps get below 20, I plan to insulate them with pipe insulation.
