I thought I would revive this old thread on Burretiokentia koghiensis with a photo of mine opening with a colorful new leaf.  I killed at least one small one in my old garden before getting this larger one a few years back.  Starting a little larger or perhaps a little more experience growing the New Caledonia species made this a much easier grow than the prior effort.  In the summer this gets a few hours at most of morning full sun while in winter gets only brief moments of direct sunlight when the sun takes it's lowest arc of the year.  It seems to thrive on this exposure.  What's the latest with your B koghiensis?

Tracy, my Burretiokentia koghiensis has been a good grower so far and has adapted to seeing a pretty good amount of sun. Mine sees full morning sun to afternoon filtered sun in summer and full sun in winter until about 2:30pm. Here it is today sporting a new frond.

Sweet dude! That’s looks awesome. I didn’t think these could do any significant sun at all! Probably why I've killed two and working on a 3rd. I’ve got a nice 2G right now and the plan is to plant it out in the next few days.  It’s been acclimating. Will post when grounded.

Boy, that’s a sweet one Billy. It’s interesting, I have tried numerous B. Kogiensis in the past, as has my neighbor, and we just can’t seem to get them to be happy in the ground. Conversely, we’re both growing dumasii and have had zero issues with them, although they’re frankly distinguishable, at least to my eyes. Mine has been flowering and seeding for a number of years now. It also throws kind of a salmon colored leaf. Such a beautiful genus.

Share a photo of your B dumasii Bret.  How much trunk before they flower?

Here is an updated photo of my Burretiokentia kogihensis.

I didn't think they could take that much either, but my palm proved me wrong. Also, check out Joe's double koghi next time you're over there. It caught my eye on my last visit. I think it's in a pretty exposed spot and looks really good.

I just happened to plant this koghi yesterday as the first of many to come in this new front yard planter. I hope to continue the row with another 8 or 9 palms to the east toward the street.

Hey Tracy, 

mine had no more than about 18 inches of visible trunk when it began flowering. Sorry for the marginal picture with construction materials all over the place, but it’s the best I can do at the moment!

Bret, do you recall at what size you and Terry planted them out as? Sounds like starting them at a little bigger size might be the trick with this species.

Billy,

 

Both were Floribunda 1 gallon plants. I think I gave Terry an extra i had; probably 10 years for mine and about 7 for his.

Dredging this thread back up from the depths...anyone have success with Koghiensis or Hapala in central Florida?  I bought several from Floribunda and am trying to figure out a good spot for them.  I planted two Hapala in the front yard under the variable shade of a Butia, and have two Vieillardii and one Koghiensis in 3g pots pending a suitable spot.  Can Koghiensis handle most of the day full sun here, or is it purely a filtered sun/shade palm?  I have a spot that is full sun until about 3PM, and then shaded by my neighbor's 80ft tall water oaks.  Any suggestions?

@Merlyn I lost one Koghi in the ground to a fungus of something. I’m waiting to try the back up at some point.  I’ve had hapala and viellardii in the ground a couple of years now fairly successfully. They have both taken some good amounts of sun without totally getting scorched but seem to be much happier in filtered light or shade.

Here’s my triple kog, they’ve been in the ground for 5 years from a 15 gal. I would have just purchased a single but this one was the same price and was growing in more sunlight which was helpful since mine have been in full, all day sun from the get go. Off to the far right in the second pic is dumasii and in front are two grandiflora.

@D. Morrowii thanks for the info and pics!  I decided to plant mine in a part shaded area near the driveway.  It has a Bambusa Textilis Purpurascens to the East (left on the photo) and a Vulgaris Wamin Striata to the West (background right on the photo).  So it'll get filtered sun most of the day, with some direct sun until the Textilis fills in a bit.  This was a Floribunda 1g in December and I immediately stepped it up to 3g.  It had pretty much filled the pot with roots by now, so definitely a prolific grower of roots!

@Rob123 those look great, especially for full sun in coastal CA!  I just received a couple of Vieillardii 1g from Floribunda and stepped those up to 3g yesterday.  I planted two Hapala in the shade of a Butia last weekend, kind of hidden in this photo between the rock of Gibraltar and the Butia:
