akaranus Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 It start with seeds very early..mine in few yrs from planting a small plant..but you need both male and female...very slow when you compare it with chamaerops humilis..even slower than vulcano in my mediterranean climate... 1 2 www.mediterraneannature.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben OK Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I agree. Mine is pretty similar in size to yours. Mine has produced a few nonviable seeds before in previous years. Without a male and female though, I won't ever have any cerifera babies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmatierMeg Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I’ve had a cerifera planted on the east side of the house for 10-11 years. Never flowered so I don’t know what sex. None of the a 6-8 green humilis I have around the yard have ever flowered either. 1 Meg Palms of Victory I shall wear Cape Coral (It's Just Paradise) Florida Zone 10A on the Isabelle Canal Elevation: 15 feetI'd like to be under the sea in an octopus' garden in the shade.

Yours are large enough to flower. For producing seeds you need to have male and female plants and they need to be synchronized in flowering time. Sometimes, not very often, Chamaerops can have hermaphrodite flowers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof p Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 they are very slow growing but very hardy in our climate. some 14 years ago I planted a seed in the garden and it is still not much higher then 40cm but never showed any damage over those years while regular humilis had the spears pulled in a few winters over those same years. Vulcano also seems to be a little hardier then humilis when it gets bigger over the years in our wet winters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darold Petty Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 I wish we could stop using 'cerifera'. The name published first always takes precedence. https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77189984-1 3 San Francisco, California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Las Palmas Norte Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 I'd like to see some big cerifera. Seems like everything I've ever seen are small examples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping there'd be some a lot closer, mind you a trip over there would be fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
