Clinostigma Savoryanum - 4 year update in California

[Palms1984]

Here is an updated pic of the Clinostigma savoryanum at the San Diego Zoo.  This pic was taken on September 2, 2025.  I believe this palm is more than 25 ft, maybe closer to 30 ft tall.

Thanks for bumping this thread!  Here are a couple of updated photos of mine. One of the three is now producing seed. These are great as they are not as fast or large as other clinostigma.

We don't have to worry as much about Palms growing too fast here as compared to Hawaii.   That said, Clinostigma savoryanum is a nice paced grower here, remaining smaller longer than some other species.  I think this one is about 16 years in the ground now in Carlsbad.

Those are beautiful Clinostigma palms!  I’ve seen many in Hawaii (Where I’m from originally) where they grow to perfection.  The ti leaf plants are gorgeous, also!
