The Palm Nut Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Love these, such an easy grow and perfect for my climate, great coastal palm. Low maintenance palm, should be more widely used in home gardens.

SouthFLA Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Some flowers just popped on my Coccothrinax crinata, Old Man Palm. They are very fragrant but they don't last long. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmfriend Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Hi, it seems we have a little progress over here... My six(!) year old C. borrhidiana last March... ...and right now - photo taken minutes ago. It gives me hope somehow. 🤞 regards Lars 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this discounted "borhidiana" thinking it would stay low and slow for a while. It turned out to be a hybrid and it gaining hight way too fast. Still I think it looks cool and like it a lot, but my landscaping plans for the future did not go as expected for this spot. August 2021.... December 2022.... The various others continue slow and steady. Reliable little growers, though slow... Miraguama ssp roseocarpa got put in the lawn last week... I'm going to see if I can score some more of these and make this a triple group.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Palms Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Coccothrinax crinita ssp. Brevicrinus. A four year old plant with a close up of the trunk. These are grown from habitat collected seeds and are the 'real' brevicrinus sub species and not the hybrid C.crinita X C. miraguama. 5 Mike Harris Caribbean Palms Nursery Loxahatchee, Florida USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztropic Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Coccothrinax macroglossa.

Oscar Palm Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 A neighbor of mine is selling his house and knows I love some of his Palms. He has an 18 foot Crinita (Old Man Palm) in good condition. How much do you think it’s worth? Seek Advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztropic Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Only worth what you are willing to gamble at this point. It still needs to be dug and moved... There's always a chance that the dig could kill it. Value would go up if dug then reestablished for a year in a moveable box container. aztropic Mesa,Arizona 1 Mesa, Arizona Temps between 29F and 115F each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, no highjacking intended, but these two flanking ones have fattened up so massively in one year - completely of the grid IDing them (some Archontophoenix??) - and even the Cocothrinax has kept up somehow... Jesus, that is an incredible growth rate of both species. However, I would let it run a bit more - as you said - and see how it will turn out.

That spot gets a lot of water, with crisscross irrigation sprayers hitting it from both sides, and I water them by hand on top of that. It also gets full, all day sun there, so it’s a bit of a hotspot. I expected that cocco was going to be a borhidiana, that would stay compact and slow for a long time, but it turned out to be a hybrid (I’d guess with miraguama?), that stretched out pretty fast. This little hybrid is supposed to be borhidiana x crinita, and is super slow…. This one is supposed to be miraguama x crinta, and is also slow… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your palms looked very familar to me, but their speed of growth especially the thickness of their trunks after one year kept me in the dark. However, thanks for clarifying and explaining your watering schedule - I had no idea that it has such an impact on this species. I think I will keep a closer eye on my own ones from now.

ruskinPalms Posted 30 minutes ago Report Share Posted 30 minutes ago My argentata is pretty small but looks like it is trying to flower. And chance it will make some viable seeds when it is this small? Parrish, FL Zone 9B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
