Scott, Very nice looking specimen. Growing very nice and full.

Here is a couple pics of the 2 hybrids I have. VERY fast growers! Same compact frond growth as borhidiana,but trunk height growth is 3 times as fast. Not as much trunk 'fur' but makes up for it with speed of growth. Probably better off to plant a hybrid in western states,to get a similar appearance of a purebred borhidiana,in 1/3 the time. 🤷‍♂️

I got this guy as a small “borhidiana”.   It within a year, revealed itself to actually be a hybrid… with miraguama I’d bet.    Turns out it is my favorite cocco in the yard now.   Very fast for its genus.

Here's what the trunk fiber looks like on 3 different purebred borhidiana I have in my garden. Very distinctive. Pure borhidis are slow growers - hybrids are almost always a better choice for speed of growth,with similar looks,unless you're a purist.🤷‍♂️

I think they just happen by luck to get a hybrid that looks and performs well. (mine were sold to me at 1 gallon size as pure borhidiana) By 3 gallon size,it's much easier to identify what you really have when growing from seed and can cull out the ugly or poor performing individuals.I am now growing seeds from these 2 hybrid trees,but it will be years before I really know what characteristics the offspring will bear. Could be anything from borhidiana to miraguama,but most will be somewhere in-between.

I'm just looking to produce a faster growing,compact, Coccothrinax type palm that will take full sun for desert gardens. It's name will be Coccothrinax sp. :lol:

Still got about 6 15 gallon fallaensis to play with come next spring 😈

Would love to see some pics of 15 gallon Copernicia fallaensis on the west coast! Very rare palms out this way...

Here's one of my 5 gallon fallaensis I grew from second offering of habitat collected seed sold by RPS,planted 2018. :greenthumb:

Here is a couple pictures of the 15s they were potted into the 15s from 5s couple months back. 5 gallon pots were Completely filled with roots and coming out drain holes . I would imagine they have already rooted well into the 15s . Definetly ready to go in the ground .

Copernicia cowellii tiny from the first batch of seed from @MameyDisco  can you see find it among the littered leaves . 🤣

Cowellii definitely does it's best, planted in the ground. Mine are 10 years old now from seeds,and still only what I would call 7 gallon size trees.🤷‍♂️

No need to. I primarily grow palms from seed that I am interested in planting in my own garden. One batch is usually enough. I always seem to have extra plants from a batch, that I eventually sell off.

Currently have Coccothrinax boschiana collected from a trip to the Dominican Republic that produced way more plants than I need... Slow,but steady growers.🤷‍♂️

Seems strange,but cowellii is one of the few palms that actually seems to do better growing under desert conditions, than it does in Florida; which more closely resembles it's natural habitat...🙂
