Steve Mac Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 No mate, you did not write that, You quoted John in Andalucia who said that earlier, I should have used the original quote from John, not from where you quoted him. He is probably right, the Bizzy at Kew Gardens is probably less than majestic. 1 Cheers Steve It is not dead, it is just senescence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an odd choice to have in an overcrowded, humid tropical palm house IMO. The temperate house is more suited to Mediterranean palms and has way more light.

I read that Coconut palms in Middle America are mostly of the Pacific variety, whereas Caribbean palms belong to the Indian group. So yours may be an 'Indian Tall' variety.

Aleitalyyy Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 17 ore fa, John in Andalucia ha detto: Probabilmente 12 gradi Celsius. In questo momento, è 5 ° C all'aperto e 13 ° C all'interno del giardino d'inverno. La temperatura del suolo è di 14,5 ° C incredibile che cresca a quella temperatura, 14 gradi sono bassissimi per una noce di cocco ... io tengo sempre il mio a 20 ° ...

maesy Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Here is my coconut tree that I donated to a tropical house some years ago here in the province of canton Lucerne. I brought it from the Philippines in 2008 as a sprouted seed. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleitalyyy Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 @maesy at what temperature does it grow in winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maesy Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 There is also a garden restaurant not far from the palm. I dont think the temperature ever goes below 20°C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleitalyyy Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 @jonh ask confirmation that your coconut grows and vegetates at a temperature of 13 degrees in the winter house greenhouse? it seems very strange to me ... so was the orange variety cultivar and therefore more resistant to low temperatures than the green cocos?

MelvinB Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) A few weeks ago, i bought a second seedling Cocos which i had placed in an unheated bedroom with temperatures around 17C, but it died very quick.

I'm trying to understand ... why a coconut with day and night temperatures at 13 degrees died in a short time ... From what i know, the Panama/Pacific Tall variety is the most cold hardy.

Aleitalyyy Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 @MelvinB melvin I have also read that the tall the most tolerant to cold ... the jamaican tall the least ... we are waiting for confirmation from jonh that his orange coconut grows at 13 degrees of daily temperatures ... if so I will look for a quality orange to grow here in Italy ...
