Hi,

Not a terribly good pic, but both in the bottom part of the picture below are Ch. radicalis. On the left, almost out of shot, non-trunking, next to it, the trunking form (higher up on the left, Ch. seifrizii). At this stage, the don´t look all that different to me, and they´re growing more or less at the same rate...

Cheers,

Jan Jo

This is mine. Is the radicalis var. Arborescens. It is growing in a pot and grows like a Roystonea!

 

[Nico94]

Where have you buy this Chamaedorea?

Very nice

It is from palmania.es. A Canary islands nursery.

I bought it last year in March and grows a lot in this 18 months.

This photo is when it arrived.

I sowed the seeds tow years ago

Hi Antonio, that growth is incredible! It´s not even meant to be a particularly fast growing Chamaedorea, is it??

P.S. Beer from Mercadona?

[Stevetoad]

I've got 4 took pics of 3. All of these are from the same seed batch. One is trunking the others as all tillering. 

First the trunking form. A little hard to see with all the other plants in the way. 

 

this is is the first tillering one. Grows in a spiral. 

last is another tillering form. This one has mottling that's hard to photograph. Kinda like pinanga.

I do not know if it is a fast growing Chamaedorea, but for me, it is very, very, very fast.

At the same time i bought a Cham. Woodsoniana with the same size. Now, the size  is 50% less than the radicalis.

P.S. of course

[TexasColdHardyPalms]

Here are some potted ones that I will put in the ground next spring along with a few hundred babies.

No, i only have a few Chamaedorea species, but not hooperiana.

[DoomsDave]

They are one of the best palm species for anyone, anywhere. You could even take one aboard a space capsule, it's small enough, and hardy enough.

[Steve Mac]

Here is ours. It is actually 4 plants, planted fairly close together.

Thanks man, I’ll give them a call tomorrow.

[Harry’s Palms]

I have several that I planted from seed in various stages of maturity, from babies to juvenile to 8 footers.

[RichardHemsley]

Just purchased a couple of small specimens for a shady part of the garden

They will love the shade , but also can handle sun at an early stage. Those are ready for the ground. I am a 9b or 10a and they grow directly from the ground all year . The seeding babies in the photo I posted came up just before winter and that photo was taken a couple weeks ago. Harry

Have heard that they can handle some direct sunlight,  but concerned that they might struggle with the high heat of the Mediterranean summer, so opting for a shady area.

@Coconut Jared and @Chester B The JFG annual plant sale is next Saturday - a great time to pick up plants from them and some other local vendors. They usually have some C. radicalis and C. microspadix for sale, although they seem to have removed the link to the nursery inventory from their website. Note, because they have both C. radicalis and C. x 'Douglas Delight' in the garden you might be getting a bit of a mix.

I really wish D. x 'Douglas Delight' and C. oreophila were both more widely available.

Another palm nursery gone 😪

Thank you for the answer. I am not looking for radicalis, have enough to fill my garden. Palmania had some interesting species

Here is a radicalis as a clump

I had not heard of that Douglas Delight one so I'll have to keep an eye out for it.  I was there two weeks ago and did buy some radicalis, but at that time their nursery stock was very limited as they were holding it back for the festival next weekend.  I'm a member so I get in an hour early for first dibs so am curious to see what else they've got.

Hopefully they get that nursery list back up and running one day.   It does sound like they are going to put more emphasis on the nursery going forward to help up with funding the garden.

I would like to thank you for telling me this. They had 2 large ones that are now in my backyard! I’d be 8 years behind right now trying them from seed without your post. Here are some pictures. The leaves look a little small and puny. Do these normally have bigger leaves? I’m guessing it saw very cold temps this winter and possibly recovering from that. They said it was not brought inside for the freeze.

I was very tempted to buy the one on the right.  When I saw it, it had a bunch of seed.

I have three in a pot in my lanai in Florida that grows extremely slow. It seemed it had seeds but then the seeds died early on. I’m wondering how much sun they can really handle because I think the amount it’s getting now isn’t enough. I can’t figure out which side of the house to plant it on because I don’t want it to burn. What would u recommend for sun? North South East Or West side of house .. morning sun for a few hours okay? I’m in zone 9 

[RichardHemsley]

I would have thought early morning sun would be fine
