Thought I would post these pics of my Pinangas, I am very busy and dont get much time to take pics but anyway!!

These Pinangas>> Kuhlii or Coronata?? were planted 9 months ago from 6 to 8 size pots looking very scrappy at the time coming out of semi-shade. They are in the full sun beside my shade house, suffering for a while getting acclimatized to the heat.

Now looking fantastically healthy and growing very fast. Some have inflorescence forming.

The wet season is here very early this year in the Philippines, palms are loving it, lapping up the moisture and high humidity.

Just had one typhoon gone through dumping alot of rain and major flooding also.

I hopefully will get round to posting some more pics of my collection soon.

Yes I grew them back in Australia but the same as yours>> got cooked in the harsh sun over there.

I know they are very common palms but its just that these look so good in the sun thats why I posted them.

I could never get P. kuhlii in the full sun, even with the humidity in Darwin. I will try P. coronata though. I have one in the shadehouse as we speak. You must have cloud cover in the Phillipines to be able to grow them in the full sun. Or just like Jakarta, where I grew up.... the pollution makes the sun less harsh...

Hi Ari>>Actually I think its the constant high humidity here that helps!! Dont know about the pollution its clean air where we live here in Phils. Not like Manila.!!

I have always been interested in growing palms in the full sun ever since I had a palm Nursery in Aus> customers wanted sun hardened stock always.

I know that Rich Trapnel at Rosebud Farm (Kuranda) has many P. Coronata growing in the full sun. My guess this would be the easiest Sp. of the two to try.

cheers

Jerry

ps. Let me know how you go with yours!!

The Pinanga adangensis I got yesterday will be planted out in full sun . It looks a bit similar to coronata .

Very few of the Pinangas will take this punishment .

I thought P. coronata and P. kuhlii (synonym) were one and the same. :hmm:

I think FNQ has more cloud cover and usually more humid in the dry season than we are in Darwin. Darwin's dry season is less forgiving for them. I have tried them before but I was impatient and didn't acclimatise them properly and they didn't make it. This time... I will do it slowly... to make sure they have all the time they need to acclimatise...

Michael,

Tully has more white fluffy stuff than Darwin!!!! What does P. adangensis look like??

Tom,

They have been lumped as P. coronata, but in my opinion, they are different plants... with different colour new growth and shape of leaves and different preferences. Hence, different plants...

Regards, Ari :)

Supposedly they are , but when one has broad leaflets and cannot tolerate full sun , and the other has fine even leaflets and grows easily in the sun .. we must differentiate them somehow .. and many of these lumps and splits are not accepted by the gardening public long after the egspurts have made them . Also P. coronata , kuhlii is the syn. is more cold hardy , something you poor temperate growers should like .

Hi Gene

No I havent seen many around Manila myself. Often see them overgrown in the corner of the garden centres here, they dont know what they are just call them Pinangas???

Hows your garden growing there? I read a few of your posts.

By the way have you seen any Pigafetas here? Love to get hold of some fresh seed, they would grow like rockets here!!I got some seed last year from RPS but musnt have been fresh enough...

Yes you are right P.Coronata has those thin more split leaves and grows quite well in the full sun. They say it is from a higher altitude?? dont know.

Kuhlii is ok in the sun depending on the humidity all year. That has to be the reason. Mine have just come out of the hottest part of the year with temps 34c everyday but with some humidity. No the wet season is here should be interesting to see how they perform.

Havent heard of that one Wal?? but>>>

Many Pinanga Sp. here must be all in the virgin forest down South, not much virgin forest here on Luzon all been racked for farming.

I think Kuhlii etc etc... is Malaysian/Sumatran in origin???

The garden is going well but it is still "young" with regard to my taking over of it. The garden was started by my great grandparents I guess since we just inherited the house. There are stuff here that have been growing in the gardens since the 1930's but I am transforming it into a "Palm based" garden so in that sense it is still in its infancy. I recently updated a post "palms I have planted since I became a palmaholic" or something that sounds like that --- shows how my palms are doing.

As for pigafettas - Haven't seen any here either.
