These two palms are the same age. I cant tell much difference except the potted palm is slightly bigger.

Cool! I love this palm. I hope to be able to grow it outdoors at my place someday. The roots on my small plant are impressive.

MattyB mine made it through last year that was cooler than I remember here and it did just fine. I know your cold temps are not as bad as it is here so I think it will survive there.

Davidl,

I started one from seed years ago. Only one out of ten seeds made it through; it's potted in a 3 gal. now, looks good. I understand that these palms are salt tolerant, so I'm considering planting mine at the beach. The lot is small, but I think it will fit in alright.

I think they slow down some when you put them in the ground until they get acclimated, kinda like the Voaniola gerardii.

Your palms look healthy.

Copernicia macroglossa does just fine in the hot Arizona desert.Seems to yellow up just a bit over winter but as soon as it warms up,they green right up again.Also takes full all day sun without any problems.

Good looking palms, all. This morning I took photos of my C.m. in the ground nearly 2 years. Very slow and prone to yellow, so I give it a boost of magnesium (epsom salt) now and then. It seems to take blazing sun and my lousy soil in stride.

What kind of watering needs does it require at your place? I assume not much due to the cactus next to it. :hmm:

Only gets watered twice,maybe three times a week if it's lucky,now that we're seeing 111 degree temps on a regular basis.Soil is heavy so it tends to hold the water well.I think it is very drought tolerant though,and I am amazed at the amount of blasting, burning,all day sunshine it takes without any damage.You can see that even some of the cacti are a little sunburned and a Ravenea xerophyla even has a few dried tips,but this little guy stays nice and green all summer long.

    After those last few visuals I am no longer proud of my baby. It's now just a question of whom I hate most, Bruce or Waykool
