Kris,

Well, there's actually a good amount of space (post 37) for the Corypha utan to spread out once it gets bigger. Maybe not as much as I would like! :(  But, most of the palms planted nearby are going to remain small, and if I need to remove something 10-15 years from now, well that's always a possibility I guess!

Its been four years sence I posted a reply to this topic and I can say that my Corypha is alive and well. Maybe the southern most Corypha of its size in Australia? Here are some pictures of it taken today. Thanks Kris for bringing this post back to life.

Cheers

Mike

Dear Mike :)

Very happy to see your corypha is doing great ! :greenthumb: And also glad to know that even you are a corypha palm fan,Since those who plant it in ones garden can only call themselves as its fan.As this palm will over shadow all other plantings in the years to come..:hmm: In my case its going to cover even our house ! :huh:

Thanks for the update,

Lots of love,

kris :)

Mike - your growth rate is just fine. You are going to see it start to accelerate its growth a bit now. greenthumb.gif It spends a long time developing its trunk. A large "foot " is needed to support such a massive palm. cool.gif

How hardy is Corypha umbraculifera?  I have 1 in a pot I grew from seed last year.  It did not appreciate spending the winter in my shaded greenhouse but recovered well after a few doses of hydrogen peroxide.

I am hoping it would survive okay in sunny position in zone 9a.  What do you think?

Austin:

I doubt C. umbraculifera would grow through any but the mildest winter in Austin. I grew up in Dallas and lived in College Station, and I never saw one in the whole central Texas region. Remember: Blue Norther! Temp drops of 50 degrees in six hours! And then it stays bitter cold for two or three days. Every few years. Much more frequent than the Corypha life span.

Likewise now that I am in coastal GA I have seen zero here or in N. Florida, zones 8B to 9B.

If yours didn't like the shaded greenhouse for the winter, I doubt it would be happy in the cold ground, either. I would also love to grow one (if I had the space), but nobody else seems to be doing so, and I heard the great Fairchild specimens didn't even do well. Good luck...if you can grow a 50 footer, send me seeds.

Just my humble, definitely non-expert, opinion.

Gig 'Em Ags!

If you want to see Corypha umbraculifera in the wild in India you should go to Kumta in Karnataka, just south of Goa. From there you can go by bus to Yana, a limestone formation. In that area I saw several hundred talipot palms. And 3 flowering ones. I went there 4 Januari 2012. You can also see them from the road between Sultan Batheri and Cochin. I found that Corypha population just by some googling.

And Yana was very easy to get to by a cheap bus. Its also a touristic destination. Corypha grows a lot along the road close to that Yana limestone formation. Well I had never been to that part of India but did find it strait away!

Well maybe because I am just a crazy Dutchman...

About hardiness, probably only hardy in the southern tip of Florida. Its a very tropical palm!

Corypha umbraculifera was allready depicted in the Hortus Indicus Malabaricus. Well the Dutch where active there during the 17e century and did do a lot of study of the local plantlive.

You can see several prints of Corypha also on the rare plant gallery. They where called godda pana in the Malabar area. They date from 1686.
