You are growing an incredibly healthy B hapala there. One day I hope to have one growing that well over here.

I apologize. I will inform both my Burretiokentia hapala and vieillardii to stop thriving after two years in the ground. Southern Cal says you are not supposed to grow here. Enough sarcasm.

I planted them understory and poitioned them where they get good air movement. I have seen them flower in other gardens down here. It's all about the microclime.

Wow, I didn't know there was so much action in growing palms (camel toe and moose knuckles... where?) :mrlooney: . All I see around me are plants, fertilizers, containers, equipments, and etc...

Bob,

Not so fast. There are a few 10-15' ones growing here that I have seen either in private gardens and Fairchild's as well. I have one here at the nursery probably at 10' now and looks good. So-Cal probably has maybe more planted for whatever reason, somehow we got started much later than you guys on planting these. Their flowering here, but I personally don't know of any that have seeded yet.

One of the best growing palms in my garden is a Burretiokentia hapala that I got from Pious Palms about a year ago. That palm has been one of the easiest palms to grow in my garden and needs almost no care to look great. The fronds are always solid green. Its in the full sun for 1/2 the day and opens a new frond about every 2-3months. It saw lows of 34 and not even a blemish on the leaves. I would have no problem buying one if I saw it at a palm sale especially since its such a beautiful palm.

I got my B. hapala seedling last fall, planted it in the shade garden in March. So far, it is one of my top 5 performing seedlings. Even when small it is gorgeous.

Ken - Do you grow it in the shade house adjacent to your never empty cooler of Beer ? :floor:

When will they learn? You tell a Floridians they can't grow a species, that species is usually in their next seed order. :blush:

I would think they would grow well for you if Howea grows for you. They like full sun here on the coast, and only seem to resent our annual autumn dry santana winds, when hummidity is in the single digit range for several days.

I can honestly say that my B. hapala has never given me a moment's grief. He sits in his little pot on the sunny bit of the deck and grows happily. Heat, cold, wind whatever, nothing seems to bother it. I had no idea that they got such a wild looking inflorescence however !!! Something to look forward to one day perhaps.

Any chance a Burretiokentia hapala will grown in a cool Northern California garden.  I receive very little heat and my Rhopalostylis, Dypsis Baronii and Howea love this climate.  Chambeyronia is a very slow for me....
