Surf Guy Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I have three C. oblongata that I got from Floribunda as 4" plants in late September 2004. These plants have grown pretty fast and one has produced flower. This one is a lot shorter than the other two. I believe this is a male plant according to Cham freaks web site. The other two taller ones are beginning to flower or are these seeds? Do these plants seed at such an early age. It's my geuss that they can only be four years old. Just looking for some input.

Patrick Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 They've got to flower before they seed, so whatever is emerging is going to be flowers.

Kind of wish that I had a male one to go with this girl. While in mostly shade, during summer it gets late morning direct sun for a couple hours tucked between the house and my detached garage and it never bats an eye at it. Cool winters don't seem to bother it much either. Even when an adjacent Chrysalidocarpus pembanus drops a frond on top of it, it seems to survive. 1 33.0782 North -117.305 West at 72 feet elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 planted together, still young. One is a male, the other two I should find out this year. Hopefully the odds are in my favor.... 1 Oakley, California 55 Miles E-NE of San Francisco, CA Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year. Hot, dry summers.

Some will turn out to male plants... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmtreesforpleasure Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Chamaedorea oblongata are a nice palm, very variable species, the multi bubble leaf orm is my favourite especially the form Loran Whitelock used to grow Regards Colin 2 1 coastal north facing location 100klm south of Sydney NSW Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
