Adonidia merrillii in Southern California - 2 years

Recommended Posts

I'm currently at the South Coast Plaza in Orange County, CA and decided to check up on an Adonidia I saw on May 17th, 2020 as seen in the first picture. The second two are from today (May 20th, 2022). Unfortunately, many of the palms appear to have been recently over-pruned.

Maybe it just had suffered some cold damage and they removed dead foliage and new fronds grew in.

Whoah!!! It looks nice!

In my experience with Veitchia/adonidia merillii in SoCal, I can say they are a just as cold sensitive as are Cocos nucifera.

South Coast has a ton of cool palms around the West Building (West of Bear St). Rhopalastylis, Bismarckia, Caryota’s, Pritchardia’s, massive Roystonea etc. My neighbors company was in charge of the inside of the main building. He planted a ton of really nice Foxy Lady’s all around the inside. Some are getting so big their touching the glass overhead which is 3 stories up. Something is gonna have to happen in the next 5yrs.
