Interesting that you have them seeding in shade but not in the sun. Nice palms you have there.

All of my palms are second generation California grown.   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.

Here’s an updated picture of my Hedyscepe aquired in March ‘21. 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.

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.

Thanks dude. 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. Don’t give up.

I think that removing the infructescences helps.  No lack of rain this summer , in fact we had 30cm (12 inches) yesterday alone!  A landslide has relocated a Jubaea by about 10 metres but it's still upright so might make it!  Another bank containing some of my best NewCals is bulging and more heavy rain id forecast. Fun and games.

Looks like it might be slightly drier next week in Auckland. Looks like lots of damaged has occurred across that area. Hopefully you're palms don't get root rot from all the excessive rainfall.

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.

I hope things dry out and calm down weather wise for you over there. 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. 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!

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.

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. 4C3CB841-C747-445E-BCC4-1002727F149F.thumb.jpeg.144a66a96d706670d41c84b622ef55b4.jpegDB893AF9-A512-44A1-A9F1-46426648B9E1.thumb.jpeg.d4fb799b10b46259b3fae2d9c6c57547.jpeg3351CBC0-736E-49A5-A2E7-70A66FB235D3.thumb.jpeg.dec709e0ab939a8d9d7cfecc2000fae8.jpeg

Here’s mine (bottom left of shot). Starting to show its mature characteristics (recurved fronds, white crownshaft) which is nice. One of my favourites.

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.

Well…..it’s been over a year since my last update. Both are still alive and growing well, albeit slow. The larger of the two gets more shade so you can definitely see how stretched it looks compared to its smaller, more exposed and compact looking sibling. I prefer the look of the one getting more sun. 
 

lets see the updates! @joe_OC @Jim in Los Altos @Dusty CBAD @Tyrone @tim_brissy_13 @PalmCode

I love this species. I didn’t lose one in the 45C day we had last month, but none are in full sun, they are all carefully placed and protected in a heatwave if necessary.

Growth speed has picked up substantially since some adult trunk has formed. This palm gets some summer sun and will easily burn if it’s unusually hot but overall is doing well here.

The race between our Hedyscepe and Rhopalostylis continues! (Those who said the Rhopie would win hands down have been right so far). Both have strong spikes which we hope will open soon.

Here are a couple pics of mine. Probably would like to get a bit more sun, it gets filtered sun here and there throughout the year. It's slowly fattening up. I think it will begin to speed up a bit in the next couple years. Really love how the shape of the ends of the fronds are more rounded and blunt than arrow and pointy.
