Oh wow. It reminds me of a bottle palm actually. Is this the first one to fruit in cultivation?

Its been fruiting for a couple years now. I suspect someone may have some germinated ones around too. If they'll admit to it.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Amazing. Do you have more pictures of Pauleen's yard and what palm is in the background with the white/black ringed trunk?

The palm in the background is a Ceroxylon. Just do a search for Pauleen in the travel logs and discussing. There's probably six threads with some great pictures.

That Ceroxylon trunk is absolutely amazing. Too bad it can't be grown in Florida.
