BigFrond 65 Report post Posted September 21 Haha... nice! When they get like over 15 ft, you will not pay as much attention because it is up high. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have to ever worry about that... Once they get big enough to expose a frond to full AZ sunshine,the frond always burns and the palms future days in that spot are numbered. aztropic Mesa,Arizona Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aztropic 2,723 Report post Posted September 21 My yard is small,so I do better with a 1 on 1 tour; usually when someone comes out to buy a palm. Always happy to provide insight on what we can grow,and I have planted examples to show a touree how well each species can do here. aztropic Mesa,Arizona Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petiole10 104 Report post Posted September 25 I have just bought a chambyronia and a new spear is opening up with first shades of that beautiful red leaf appearing 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plantasexoticas 383 Report post Posted September 25 Never had this question answered (I don’t think so anyways) but does the colour of the new fronds vary with each specimen? Or is it condition related? My Chambeyronia always have more brown fronds than bright red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aztropic 2,723 Report post Posted September 25 Yes. Each one is a little different ranging from pink to red to maroon. Best to buy when new leaf is open if you need a certain shade. aztropic Mesa, Arizona 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My newest batch I know come from a palm with bright red so hopefully they will replicate that as they mature The picture was taken today of my oldest seed grown palm 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
96720 401 Report post Posted September 25 (edited) Conditions also have a little bit to do with it when mine was in the greenhouse before I planted it outside color varied from maroon to red. Some never have color. Edited September 25 by 96720 Addition 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
