I really like this palm and I think that it's underused in the landscape probably because people hear Chamerops and immediately dismiss it as common. But it has a beautiful blue color and is amazingly drought tolerant. I have two of these; one I've left clumping to grow wild, and the other I'm pruning to a single stem. I'd love to see some more pics of this species growing in other gardens.

Happy Birthday Jason. And what a beautiful day in SoCal. You're probably outside planting in your yard right now! Hope you have a great day! Perry

The one palm most dear to my heart! Here an Elaeis guineensis , african oilpalm or oilpalm, two years after transplant. An amazing palm..... the whole area here lives from these palms. A very fast grower compared to others .

Thank's Harry. Here's another small one to feast your eyes on. This one is more bold and chunky.

I'm with you. The "ultimate" palm has to be the biggest! I also vote or Corypha umbraculifera

Kris---that's just crazy! I vote for your crazy palm!

Newest baby! Look great with all the greenery around it, can't wait for summer.

this is not Chamaerops humilis 'cerifera',but only Chamaerops humilis this is my Chamaerops humilis ,no Chamaerops humilis 'cerifera,these are still small

How is this one growing at the "Jardin Public" in Bordeaux, France...!!

couldn't get on line yesterday, so I'm late......but, as promised. Grown from small 1 gallon.

1 month later aztropic Mesa,Arizona

Here are some pics of the beast from a couple of years ago......more pics tomorrow of what it looks like now!!!!

I will post some pics tomorrow of the beast I have in the ground. It has the widest spread of any I have seen. I have this for now........

Here is mine... top leaf tip about 5'8" tall (same as top of my head).

Here are some of mine. The first one has been in the ground for more than a year and is currently experiencing a growth spurt. I am not particularly happy with the colour even though it reveals itself when photographed with a flash.

hi ...beautiful pics about this palm!! Here I show two ceriferas in the Botanical Garden of Sóller (Mallorca Island). place with high humidity and cold winter nights. looks like it loses the blue in older leaves... ...also show this chamaerops with glaucous leaves. regards.

MattyB.... I'm with you on this...Love the way you have created 2 unique looks with the same species. I really enjoy the "blue" variety. But I want to also stand up for the "common folk". Dec. 2009, I germinated my first palm species...the "green" variety. This month, I am finally getting a fan to open up...pretty exciting times for a newbie at this palm stuff....I have earthquakes where I'm at more often then being able to report on a change in my palms. Here is my pride and joy along with the donor palm that has been in this box for about 30 years. Scott

Way off dude! Both palms, mine and megs are clearly houailou.
