How do these look so good with the cool rainy winter they have?

Wow. 46f daytime high in the winter that's very cold. And only 36f overnight. I'm impressed these do so well there!

Ah yes, first of all this CIDP grows in the absolute center of London which is nearly frostfree (well occasionally 28f) and there are no cold coastal winds in the center to brown the edges of the fronds or to yellow the fronds. Planted in heavy London clay probably also helps. But the main thing is, CIDP's dont need heat to look good. I know they grow mostly in hot summer climates but they dont need it. The butia next to the CIDP looks allright but you can tell its growing in a heat deprived climate.

I personally find the CIDP to be amazing. Here it is growing in England of all places! How is it able to grow in England, when I would stand no chance at keeping one alive here in Toledo, Ohio (6B)? England is further north than Toledo, Ohio as well. Its a hop away from the Arctic Circle, but yet this CIDP looks as if it can't be bothered! Totally awesome!

unfortunatly,  the gulf current makes england much warmer then ohio.  Ive always wondered why they can grow date palms but in CT people struggle with their sabal minors, trachys and even basjoo bananas!

We have both, and they are naturalized, so they grow in the wild everywhere. The crownshaft of the CIDP can get unbelievably huge, and only homeowners with very large properties will generally grow them. Or they will just consume the whole front yard.

Because Washingtonia can live of the naturally light rainfall of Spain.

Always the most common palm in Spain was and is, the Washintonia. And followed for the date palm in mediterranean places and for canary palm in cool and inland areas.

Now, the people plant Washintonias because they are cheap and fast. 

Why not palmettos or Livistonas?

Palmettos are a rare palm in Spain and are too slow here.

Livistonas, for people are like Washintonias but slower and expensive.

And of course, nobody are planting canary palms, is too expensive fight against red weevil.

These are not so big, but still nice. The first two are the same palms. One angle only looks like one.    Taken near Fort Lauderdale By The Sea, Florida, about 3 weeks go.  Enjoy!!!

CIDPs of Universal Studios (Orlando), they actually have quite a few species of Phoenix, but this thread is about canariensis.

Hello there,

we`ve got a few ones over here as well but I think ours are not such beauties like those posted before.

(Long and humid summers, typhoons and sometimes pretty much salt in the air...)

However, here are two of them...

001x.thumb.jpg.cb35230c1c0c80da936cf59ea

...a very young one - pretty close to the beach - ...

003x.thumb.jpg.0e5eb84a40b912fa0d4fc4c80

...and here an older one, a little bit more away from the shore.

best regards

And if I say you that the people is putting massive amounts of Syagrus? :(

Like Monòver said, from always the most common palm in Spain was the Washingtonia (look at famous photos of Valencia, Barcelona, Alicante, Palma, Malaga etc) and Ph. Dactylfera tended to be planted in inland areas, Madrid is full of them for example and it's at the centre of the Iberian Peninsula!

This is how CIDP look in Ciempozuelos, Madrid in the winter:

In the North of Spain the most common one is CIDP, that's for sure. Here a good example of mature ones in Coruña.

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

This little one is from seed collected in Sonoma CA. I started it in 2014 and neglected it a bit before going into the ground.
