Over the last year, all the filler plants boomed and provided low angle protection.

Here they are today. Happy and getting fat.

Lots of high vista sun.

Looking good Tom!  Mine isn't speedy, but it just hangs in there pushing a new spear or leaf every once in a while.  Mine  still get's only filtered sun due to shade from the house and adjacent plants both in my yard and the neighbor's which are much taller.

How strange that just yesterday I decided what to put in the spot where the Lemur was.  I have lots to go there, but wanted something you don't see often. Thought of yours here Dean and decided to plant my "7 gal" sized one next to my driveway. Thanks for helping to cinch the decision!

 

Maybe give us an update?

Nice Matt.... you are seeing some nice growth.  It really seems to be thickening up at the base now.

Fabulous palm Dean foliage looks perfect.20160306_112919.thumb.jpg.fdc639bdb8a7e120160306_112941.thumb.jpg.04cf02ca9472c4

 I saw some really old specimens at the Sydney Botanical gardens last month

 

Unfortunately the seed seems to be sterile on them so far, after 3 collections none germinated after 5 germinates tried.

Trying to find out why

Is soil quality a factor in success?

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!

Here’s one from the Willoghby garden I took at the last meeting. Planted in a pretty shaded area. That dark trunk is amazing!

Just planted mine. Santa Ana, CA. A little tight but in a great shade/emerging palm spot behind the travelers palm and my flowering maple.

One of my favorites as a small plant, i'm looking forward to the changes as it grows. This one just got potted up after a cloudy winter that didn't slow it down at all.  Im hoping it likes the acidic sandy soil here once planted ( and much bigger first), with a generous helping of amendments to the soil beforehand. Not sure why the photo is sideways its correct everywhere else.

Bumping this thread since I noticed mine starting to open a new leaf today. I'm surprised at how well this plant has done here in SF, it grows about the same speed as my Chambeyronia hookeri but is way more sun tolerant as a young plant. Mine gets several hours of direct sun and doesn't burn at all, in the ground for almost 2 years now.

So in theory this is something I could keep in a pot here and put it outside and bring it in for winter with a heater and a thermostat. Neat. God knows there's enough humidity here.
