MattyB Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 I don’t remember seeing a bottle palm set seed in California before. This gal is very happy. 12 7 Quote Matt Bradford "Manambe Lavaka" Spring Valley, CA (8.5 miles inland from San Diego Bay) 10B on the hill (635 ft. elevation) 9B in the canyon (520 ft. elevation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 How long has that Bottle been in the ground? It looks fantastic and is taking on the “Seus” look that we viewed in the older Bottles at Fairchild more than a few years back. I have no doubt that you play a paramount role in extending the boundaries of Tropical palms that can be grown in Southern California. I would imagine that you have many more specimens of other varieties that are outside normal parameters! 1 Quote What you look for is what is looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the ring spacing on that specimen, it shows it's happy with that vigorous growth. I have a neighbor up the hill from me with a Hyophorbe verschaffeltii that sets seed regularly the last few years, but I can't recall seeing his Hyophorbe lagenicaulis set seed. Are you sure you didn't take that photo somewhere else and just claim it's in your garden???? 1 Quote 33.0782 North -117.305 West at 72 feet elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaianaeCrider Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 My 20 + year old sets fruit like crazy. Not so sure they mature. Here's a pic from 2019. Loaded again now. Will take a pic tomorrow. 2 Quote Steve Born in the Bronx Raised in Brooklyn Matured In Wai`anae I can't be held responsible for anything I say or do....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
