I bought a Juania earlier this year which coughed up its spear after some 39C but luckily recovered by the end of the year. 

Wow this is an old topic.... here are a couple of Juanias I grow the smaller one took -11c sub zero for 2 weeks so its time to rewrite the record books they are tough palms

    Great work, Kev. The Riffle/Craft book rates this the #1 most difficult palm in the world to grow.

    Just another update on this beautiful feather palm.

    In 2010 we had a unprecented -11c winter which defoliated my Juania which I dug up and placed in my greenhouse it produced 5 new leaves but it never got back to its growth rate before the cold.

    I was lucky enough to be able to purchase another in 2012 which I have been growing on in a pot since then.

    Today I planted it as it was too root bound for its own good.

    Sadly the 2010 Juania died this winter not enough roots had been produced after that cold spell but it made a good effort.

    Hopefully this one will last a good spell.

    All the pictures from today's planting are on our "Growing on the Edge" forum here in the UK

    Looking great Kevin. Your garden is quite unlike the typical English garden. It looks more along the lines of what you might expect in an outside garden at the Eden project.

    That Juania will hopefully motor along for you.
