New chambyronia frond opening in Phoenix

[96720]

Love these fronds even if they don’t have as much color as cooler climates the width of the leaflets and the spacing is just great

Awesome, would love a tour of your yard to see what your growing in Phoenix, from another Central AZ grower

One more shot this one at night because all week long I get home after dark

Haha... nice!  When they get like over 15 ft, you will not pay as much attention because it is up high.

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.

That palm is in the middle of 8 royals so hopefully it will have lots of shade

Would love to be included, but only if @96720 is up for it, in fact we should get everyone together and organize a series of garden tours! @Rod@aztropic What do you guys think?  

[aztropic]

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.

I always appreciate your input someone with a lot of experience in Phoenix I have 21/2 acres I have a jungle not a garden.

I’m not into a lot of people I think it would upset the giraffe and I don’t know what he would do

I have just bought a chambyronia and a new spear is opening up with first shades of that beautiful red leaf appearing

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 

[aztropic]

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.

Thanks aztropic - all mine are grown from seed. 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

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.
