palmfriend Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Great idea! Veitchias are one of my favorite palms - and I am happy that they seem to like our place... Veitchia joannis - almost five years old, from seed. Another V. joannis, same age. Just beautiful! I ordered some seeds last fall... New sprout - Veitchia arecina. Veitchia winin and... ...Veitchia spiralis. Ordered 10 seeds of each species and got 29 sprouts out of 30 seeds... No hijacking intended - I just got too excited while posting best regards from Okinawa - Lars 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas_Sancona Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Next to X Foxy Lady, Veitchia are high on my list personal favorites. Fast growers, and they're a relatively easy grow, tropical looking palm in CA too, though not quite on a "Florida " level.. At least not yet. Kopick Veitchias.. The first "tropical" palm i oogled over when i first visited the collection back in 2011. If i hadn't moved here, i'd have a dozen or so 4 yr old specimens off seed i collected there. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Los Altos Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Just half Veitchia but can’t be too choosy up here in Northern California. The other half is Wodyetia of course.

Fusca Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Not so impressive...yet. I think it's V. spiralis since the mother tree had a nearly white crownshaft.

Silas_Sancona Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) A few more from Bird Key in Sarasota, 5/2014.. Yea the Coconuts there looks great too but these just say "tropical" to me.. Can substitute the Coconut "look" w/ Beccariophoenix, Majestys, or Coco Queens ( foliage silhouette, last pic. ) if i choose to. Wonder if the ones i'd planted around my old place in Bradenton are still there. Edited February 7, 2020 by Silas_Sancona edit 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akamu Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Great topic I too have a soft spot for veitchia. My V.spiralis with 4ft of trunk became dinner for a gopher super bummed it was stunning. I have since planted a new one hoping it has better luck. Anyway 1st pi c is of a young arecina.2nd pic a true foxy lady .The 3rd pic is what I refer to as my not so foxy lady which ended up looking like a skinny wodyetia. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmfriend Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Oh, how could I forget them... Tim's V. metitis inspired me a year ago to order seeds of them, too... Doing very well so far - my own V. metitis, planted out half a year ago. best regards - Lars 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomJ Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I have a few in the ground. Colors in the trunk never get old. This double Arecina is my biggest and oldest. 15 years in the ground. Height and close planting make it hard to get a full shot of it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulofthePlace Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I believe this is Veitchia joannis. It is growing with me for about 5 years (from a nursery-bought seedling), but only a couple months in this spot. The rest of its time it was living in a black nursery container. The location is Pico island, Macaronesia. 3 Average day temperatures: +17°C in the winter and +24°C in the summer. Typical Summer: 68F to 77F (20C to 25C). Typical Winter: 55F to 64F (12C to 18C). Record Low (past 5 years): 45F or +7.7C (once a winter, some winters). Record High (past 5 years): 83F or +28C (some days only). Elevation 140 m (459 ft.) to 160 m (525 ft.), latitude 38.54º.
