I wish I knew how to grow these in the ground here on east Hawaii Island. I have killed several trying. ekmannii is a Hispaniola species. Cuban Copernicias are doing great on my property. I have flowering hospitas, large baileyanas and fallaensises, macroglossas, and even a rigida that is doing reasonably well, so the Cuban varieties do well here in our acidic, clayey, rocky volcanic soil with tons of rain.

I’ve been trying to keep these guys more in a dry desert climate when I think they need water wait a while longer . So far so good. I had alot More and am Left with about half. the other half died off throughout winter .
