Thats a "Stunning" looking Licuala Andrew, love it So much I emailed Luke to ask for some ( Ebay Gulubia ) Luke taught me that Cabalonii is closest to Grandis but has split leaves. Photo below

My thoughts are , and I wish it was mine , your Licuala is Sarawakensis. Pic courtesy of RPS.

This is my Licuala sallehana. I took this a couple weeks ago after having it in the ground for a month. It has now started to cluster. I think this is going to be a solid grower for me.

And this is some strange Licuala I got from a friend as ramsayi, but it's not... almost died from just being planted--this one has very sensitive roots! Coming back strong now, though.

Hi Andrew, great update! I don't have an extensive collection but what I have are pretty nice. Your parviflora is dynamite!

Spinosa, lauterbachii, a mapu that's been in a pot for years and I'm afraid to put it in the ground, and a gaggle of grandis which are all over my head when I walk by.

Parviflora is flowering. That was a surprise to me, when I saw it... Sorry for the blurry shots

Many thanks, it gives me some hope with my babies.

If only I knew that the permanent marker was not so permanent, I would know exactly who is who. :)

More amazing Licualas in an environment more challenging than PR or Sri Lanka I would guess. Good job Andrew!

John, this thread has documented my Licuala growing, for the most part. So going back and looking, I would say it was planted early 2012. 

My Lanonia is fine but glacial. Aurantiaca died from not enough water--I am gonna try one for the bog, here at the garden--they show color as a large 3 gallon.

My parviflora may set some viable seed this time around. Excited about that! The 3gal is there to keep it from crawling.

This portion is my least developed part of the frontyard. Cabalionii got some heavy minor deficiency but has come out of it and the palm furthest and to the center is something... Licuala something--didn't have a tag.

This is turning out to be a very nice looking palm. I got this one as Licuala malajana var. malajana.

And this was sold to me as a hybrid but I don't know. Not a beauty contestant but she grows well and provides privacy and rainforest ambiance.

Lanonia recently put out a real leaf--or at least I noticed it. Nice to have it out of the strap leaf stage!

Have you tried L. mapu in your area?

The price and how finicky they are reputed to be. Plus dasayantha is a lookAlike and easier to grow. I am happy with dasayantha.
