That Jubaea look impressive.- Amazing that the Rhopalostylis sapida grow well there, it should be more planted in the area.-

Oh! Oh!

Im amused how nice look that Trithrinax campestris in the northern Europe.- Perfect looking palm, it seems enjoyning that climate.- The stoned "pirca" screened at the back seems to help much also.

Cool Kim, I was trying to remember my 6th grade French, I think I understood about 80%  :)

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

"The great workman of nature is time."   ,  "Genius is nothing but a great aptitude for patience."

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!

Bonjour mon ami Yves (I hope you guys have got over the recent palm society (Fous de Palmiers) problems (!) news soon gets out.

Brittany has a wonderful palm friendly climate and its great to seeing it well utilised. A similar climate in our South West and even here on my South coast  close to the beach my palms love it.

Bon chance palm friend.

Thank all of you very much for your comments.

Kim, your french is very good! The jub was brought back here by a sailor who made forture with Gualapagos' guano. It was a tradition for the bretons sailors to bring back plants from the south hemisphere, you still see some old estate with huge Araucaria araucana from Chile, Trachycarpus or Phoenix.

That Butia strictor looks like it's Mom's postman was a Jub'

Osideterry, well I don't know if postman was a Jubaea  :D but in 1994 it was only four feet tall! It grows incredibly fast.

That Jubaea look impressive.- Amazing that the Rhopalostylis sapida grow well there, it should be more planted in the area.

Gaston,

That Rhopalos is a seedling from the ones in Tresco abbey gardens in the Scilly archipelago, off the cornish coast, that died in 1987. The place where it grows now is very mild Z9b/10a, no freeze this winter, but no sure on the long terme, coldest winter for 100 years was in 1987 with -9°C/15,7°F.

The Trithrinax was planted in 2001( on Batz island) and does very well in that very cool and foggy climate, summer highest average 19°C/67°F only!

Juan, what part of the south west are you from? Palms in Brittany do fairly well but we have too much rain in winter and not enough heat in summer. Some species don't mind but others are strugling  like Washingtonia .

More pics are to come

Regards

Z9b, Crozon peninsula, Brittany, the far west region of France
