Kailua_Krish Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Mine are under canopy and small but haven't had a problem so far! The Ceratozamias do very well under dense oak canopy. Anyways I only get to see all my plants roughly once a year now because I moved to Hawaii. The plants are all still at my family's place in Florida. -Krishna Kailua, Oahu HI. Near the beach but dry!

Sandy Loam Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Krishna, it looks as though you tied a rope around your bamboo (bambusa chungii?). Was that to prevent drooping/weeping? Does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kailua_Krish Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hmm, not sure which picture has it. The bamboo doesn't really need a rope around it, once its in ground for 2 seasons the new canes are all erect. -Krishna Kailua, Oahu HI. Near the beach but dry!

Sandy Loam Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Wow, the Tim Hopper Jubutiagrus takes the prize. I am surprised that the Butia x Parajubaea isn't bigger. I don't have one, but I keep hearing that they grow like wildfire as soon as you drop them into the ground. Now that you're surrounded by giant Hawaiian Tall coconuts, you must be "so done" with Ocala. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kailua_Krish Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I might be the odd one out but Im over coconuts, they're worse than queens with being planted everywhere in the tropics and half the time looking terrible. I actually have a yard in Hawaii but I miss the challenges of growing on the edge of hardiness. I might say I miss Ocala some... Anyways My BxP had a hard time getting started. It lost its spear every year for the first 3 years. Then it did really well once it grew a bit. Its picked up speed a lot. -Krishna Kailua, Oahu HI. Near the beach but dry!

Alicehunter2000 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 That JxS is looking great....looks like it holds its leaves in a single plane like Jubaea? Is the base getting fat?

redbeard917 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Not sure if you're still around, but if you're taking requests, I'd like to see the Brahea clara, Allagoptera leucocalyx, and maybe some Ceratozamias, since I'm looking at planting some of these soon. If not, I'll have to wait until next year. I love what you've done with the place! Woodville, FL zone 8b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kailua_Krish Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Already back in Hawaii, though I can't be too sad about that The Jubaea x Syagrus leaves don't grow completely in one plane, its almost like its trying to be plumose towards the bases. Redbeard, I would say go for the A. leucocalyx and ceratozamias, these pretty much always look good. The claras grow much too slow in Florida to be of any real ornamental value. -Krishna Kailua, Oahu HI. Near the beach but dry!

My Brahea clara is the 'icy blue' variant, and the guy who grew it said it was very fast, as I recall, so I have some hope it will perform for me. My main worry with the Allagoptera is cold damage. I'm going to plant it anyway as an experiment. Woodville, FL zone 8b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicdoc Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Agree that the hopper jubuyagrus wins it's awesome and seems like it will have a somewhat lean trunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben in Norcal Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 It's interesting how slow JxS seems in your location compared to California. Maybe the "J" part of the equation protesting a bit? That Jubutiagrus is off the hook though. I guess Hopper did actually make a hybrid that took at some stage!

Alicehunter2000 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Keith....do you think it is truly a Jubutiagarus and not just a mule? .... I know we have had long threads concerning the JXB mother of this plant....do have a pic of yours? A lot bigger?

Kailua_Krish Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hmm, I wonder why mine aren't growing a fast. Mine were definitely sprouted as seeds of icy blue. For the JxS the slowest part of its growth was as a small seedling. It detested our raining + freezing during the winter and I got spear pull every year for 3 years. Its picked up speed since then. As far as the Tim Hopper hybrid it grows well and looks slightly different than my mules. Whether it is a true jubutyagrus or not I couldn't tell you but I bought it as one -Krishna Kailua, Oahu HI.
