This is my Cyrtostachys renda var. "Apple Form" in South Florida, it's been in the ground for about 3 years and is doing great. It is already starting to show the stripping and color variations. Anyone growing these or if you have more info you can share. Does the coloring get more vibrant as it gets older? I would love to see your palm and its progress.

    After several years of searching I finally scored this one a few weeks ago at enormous cost. I didn't realize that there were more than one type. Is there any way of knowing which type I have from these photos? The plant is quite young, about 1 meter in height.

    yes they will get much more vibrant and can extend their coloration down several nodes with lovely striping and mottling

    it is more robust than any other form of renda i have seen, i think is a hybrid bc it has huge stems and does not produce viable seed (yet?) ill see if i can get a photo for you, Jeff’s one here is 20+ft tall but there is lots of beauty still at eye level

    This one is definitely the C. renda X elegans hybrid and has extremely nice coloration.

    If the apple form is a hybrid, which species might it be of?  C. renda X glauca?

    Sounds, from the posts that I have read, like only hibrids are available???? is that the case? I can't find much on the Internet to verify one way or other.
