Parajubaeas In The Mist

in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE

Featured Replies

Well I got up this morning to thick fog and mist and about 16C with 100% RH. The fog didn’t lift until around 9.30am but it just reminded me of a cloud forest environment especially when I looked at my Parajubaeas which come from the Andes. So I took some pics.

The trees were also dropping a lot of condensed water like rain in the rainforest area whenever the slightest breeze went through. I’m really happy that the trees were acting like rainforest trees. Really beautiful morning. Now in the afternoon it’s about 26C and very humid.

    From spring to autumn I water them every 3 or 4 days with a pot sprayer emitter at the base. Our long term weather pattern just falls into Mediterranean with over 900mm of rain annually (over 3 ft) but this year we’ve technically been more towards Oceanic with no real summer dry spell this year. We’ve been getting more than 40mm a month of rain during summer plus mega humidity. The soil here is a mix of peat and clay. Almost no sand at all, but only 500m away the soil is basically sand.

    That’s way cool. No wonder they grow so well here then.

    Agreed, very cool.

    A genus that loves our climate down here as well, which is not something we get to boast about very often! Need to find some sunkha seeds to complete the collection at some point.

    I think I was a bit lucky to see the this actually. I was told there had been several months of drought in the area, but it rained all night the one night I stayed.

    Thick fog, mist and 100% RH this morning in Melbourne. Good time to take a pic of my P sunkha (front) and P tvt (back) surrounded by some tree ferns. They’ll all be enjoying this weather more than the extreme heat we had this summer.
