I added my winter protection this afternoon. Overall...I think it grew about 4 leaves over the summer. Here it is in ground ~ 1.5 years.

Looks good!  Mine also added 4 leaves and pushing a fifth.  It's easy to count the undamaged fronds after 9°F temperatures in mid-February!  Same growth results from my slightly larger Sabal guatemalensis.  Your JxB looks awesome as well!

Thanks...I plan on protecting the trunk with xmas lights in the future as it gets larger.. i figure if it only defoliates half of the time it may still be a nice looking palm...  really want to try the mexicana tho..

Thank you.. the JxB is becoming a stunner...  I want seeds I want seeds I want seeds !!!  Ill plant these all over my property...

This is mine in Fresno. Like all my other sabal, it's been pretty slow. 

 

When did you plant your uresana??

Thanks, my "oregana" (uresana) went in the ground this morning! it'll be partly shaded by my neighbor's massive oak tree so I'm hoping for some really long petioles.

Looks like it went in the ground Jan 2017. The garden around it has grown immensely but the Sabal looks almost exactly the same haha

They aren't exactly rocketships are they? :lol:  Looks like yours has a gnarly heel like mine.

Sept. 1st 2023 update..   the palm looks green in the photos.. but I'm hoping it's the highland form!  To me it looks more blue in person...

Overall not my fastest palm.. but not the slowest..

One observation to note.. as I'm watching each new frond.. they are significantly larger than each previously emerged leaf.. by like a third or slightly more. .

Your previous pics. from '21 & '22 seem to show much bluer leaves. I would take some new shots from about the same time of day as back then. I'm sure the wax hasn't washed off.

As I've stated numerous times in other threads about this species, my 4 largest palms have all taken 5-6 yrs. for the root system to penetrate my soil type (around 50% caliche), before the leaves pick up speed. Another observation: the 2 in the most shade are the bluest, but that also could be that they're both from PD (supposedly the high elev. strain - from all accounts).

If you get a chance, post some new pics around the time I suggested, I'd like to compare them to my shade grown palms.

I'd agree but I'm pretty sure these are gonna burn every winter.. Im only slightly concerned about overall hardiness tho... would be cool if the leaf petioles get super super long.. which it might do because of afternoon shade..

If they survived the Texas disaster, i think you'll be good..  and, ..by the time they get big, you may not have many winters where you experience much -if any- burn..  Regardless, they'll be fine..  LongerpPetioles are an added bonus on these for sure, though the leaf color, blue ones esp. is the biggest eye catcher.

These shots are much better for highlighting the blue aspect of this species. They are even better than your '21 & '22 images. Thanks for posting again. Here's one from 9-1:

Fingers crossed for the Highland form... how did yours fair in San Antonio?  How old was yours? Not sure if you mentioned it...

My pure blue uresana (15 years old) had zero damage on it after the historic freeze... totally surprised me.   My other SU, which isn't as blue but is larger and older (seeds from U of AZ), had about 50% frond damage...
