At that stage the baby golden pacific tall coco passes as a jube

Definetly see the similarities. Was thinking yours looks a little slicker softer to the touch right off the bat . 

[JubaeaMan138 1,319]

This one just guessing is 3 years with me and I would add another 10 to that probably from seed I would think .

You are the Jubaea master!

Here's a side pic from right now. Turned on the brood light so I can get a good pic. (18C right now. No need for supplemental heat).

 

Here it is:

Wow! Yours are awesome!  I have tried to procure one (J. caffra) to no avail.

They are just uber beautiful palms!!

 

 

[GottmitAlex 3,771]

Going to turn off the lamps, but I had to take this pic.  Not hijacking. 

But darn, they look good.

 

The golden Cocos nucifera look a lot like J.caffra sans the Jube split and the Coco fiber.

I forget who it was who played an awesome prank on all of us several years ago posting a pic of his juvenile (20 year old) Jube with a half coconut husk (face up) on the base of the caffra and real coconuts hanging from the petioles/rachis. It was super funny. 

If it weren't for the lack of fiber between the petioles, it would have passed for a golden coconut palm.

My two have been in the ground for 16 years, no idea how long in the pot before planting.  Hope to see seeds before I die.

The larger went in the ground from a 1 gallon pot in 2005.  First picture is from 2008  Second about 6 months ago.

I got some seedlings I grew from the famous tree in the first picture! Thought I’d throw another picture of my biggest one thus far showing some cool Orange . 

[JubaeaMan138 1,319]

The biggest head is also splitting as we speak . 

[JubaeaMan138 1,319]

Big reclinata behind it planted about 3 years ago as a 1 gallon from Kevin weaver . Currently waiting for it to get a tad bigger to start thinning it out . Super fast growing palm right next to my septic system haha .
