One of them is a descendent from Karel Havlicek's Hedyscepe. I also have a Leppidorachis growing in the garden. It opened three fronds last year and is looking to do the same this year. Soil never gets dry for any of these palms. Joe, Have not heard that name in a while, Karel Havlicek. HE lived a mile or so from me and was extremely generous with information, plants, and his time. Most my broms are from him. I have a Ficus Dammaropsis he gave me that is the pride of my Jardin. A great guy. I'll get a picture of my Hedyscepe for this thread. Mine took a hit last year with some type of bug. I caught it in time and is now moving along nicely. Not as green and vibrant as it was BUT I feel this summer will see a correction in that. It now has 4' of trunk and is 8' to 10' overall. It was a Blue Bell palm a number of years back.

It was finally grounded sometime last spring and has appreciated it. Looks like the base has definitely fattened up and taking on that coveted Hedyscepe look all of us love albeit small still. I planted another one in my front yard. This one was a small 1G and is it a bit more sun. Doesn’t seem to mind actually. Both these are growing right thru our “winter” here in SoCal and just pushed new fronds. -dale 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Wow Dale, your small 1g looks bigger than my 5g Hedy. Mine is the tiniest little thing and I'm still trying to acclimate it. Joe mentioned that it had always been kind of a dud but I went for it anyway cause I love Hedyscepe so much. Unfortunately it hasn't really budged since I bought it while the rest of my potted squad are like rockets already even as small 5 gallons. I may have to see if I can acquire a bigger one cause at this rate I won't have much to be excited about anytime soon. Yours on the other hand are looking great.

It’s one of my favorite type of tree. Hard to beat a well grown Hedyscepe. FYI: I’ve killed not 1 but 2, 1G Hedyscepe’s. The ones you see are #3 & 4. I think they need to be bigger as you mentioned.

Looks like lots of damaged has occurred across that area. Hopefully you're palms don't get root rot from all the excessive rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmCode Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 My Hedyscepe here is growing good, getting bigger and better with every new spear opening. Hoping we don't get any root rot with all this rain. My Kentias would probably be the first to go. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully your New Cal bank holds up. No one saw that amount of rain coming. Just before it hit the computer models were saying 130mm of rain over 10 days.

No one saw that amount of rain coming. Just before it hit the computer models were saying 130mm of rain over 10 days. Something went wrong there. Yeah, it was a shock. We get heavy downpours a lot but this just kept going and going. NewCal bank has sunk a little more and a couple of Chambeyronis are on an angle but hopefully it will hold. I filled in the cracks to reduce water getting in. I'm thining of relocating the lepidotas but not until movement stops for a few days. The other slip is massive and I'm really not quite sure where to start with a mess this big! There are cracks above along a wide front next to the slip and soil below is buckling so staying well away for now as i feel there is a lot more to come down! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is a big bit of erosion there. It gives a good indication of the soil profile. I’d be staying away from it until some drying weather comes through. I imagine there would be many places around Auckland and in the national parks much like this at the moment. I’m hoping some walk trails are open when we head over soon. It would be a pity if they’re all closed due to land slips. Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S. Warm temperate.

Dusty CBAD Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Here’s mine. Potted in May 2020, I think that’s a 7g pot. In the ground a week or so later. And yesterday, about 2.5 years later. One of my first plantings. Gets a decent amount of sun, mostly filtered in the afternoon. The dry winter sun seems to be the worst for it. Puts out about 2 fronds per year. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_brissy_13 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Here’s mine (bottom left of shot). Starting to show its mature characteristics (recurved fronds, white crownshaft) which is nice. One of my favourites. 4 Tim Brisbane Patterson Lakes, bayside Melbourne, Australia Rarely Frost 2005 Minimum: 2.6C, Maximum: 44C 2005 Average: 17.2C, warmest on record.

PalmCode Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Heres another one I have in the garden, on the left side. Been in ground for three years. And another one in a 35 liter pot. I'll probably chuck it in 50 liter pot soon and keep it growing in there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
