Just a few pictures of each, they were looking happy with the recent rainfall. The first two photos are of S. hoehnei which has a more upright leaf habit, and the S. weddelliana showing a weeping look. They both get a fair bit of sun.

Great looking happy palms. I have the S. hoehnei as a small plant. How long have yours been in ground?

Jeff, they were in pots for three years or so and I finally planted them out. In ground for two years and they have grown considerably and look much happier. Sweet little palms.

My Syagrus (Lytocaryum) hoenei was a gift from Bill Austin, and I put it in an area that gets filtered light in the morning and full sun for most of the afternoon. It has never shown any problem with these conditions. It now has several flower spikes, as shown in the pic below (hat for scale and taken during a brief hiatus of the rain when the sun was trying to pierce the cloud cover. The rain started again before I could get back to the house, but i had what I had wanted.) If one looks carefully slightly left of center the flowers are emerging from one of the spikes.

Has Lytocaryum hoehnei already produced seeds?

This species is available from Floribundapalms.com.   US $15  for a substantial plant, about 25-30 cm tall. 

Perhaps you could ask Jeff to send them bare root in order to save shipping costs to France.  :)

Hey Eric, it has not seeded yet. Try RPS seeds out of Germany, you might have better luck.

I got my weddelliana from JM today. I got permission from the boss to splurge on a 15g since they are so slow 😁 Here it is in its approximate eventual location next spring. I have another tiny one from Jeff Marcus which I’ll plant alongside it…hopefully neither one croaks.

I planted out this weddelliana yesterday. The soil in this part of the garden is heavier than the rest (takes about five minutes to drain 2" of water). The area gets consistent summer "rainfall" from fog dripping from the neighbor's Magnolia grandiflora overhead. It also gets almost no sun any time of year and as a result is continuously moist. I know this species is prone to root rot, so I cut off irrigation to the plant. It will be our only palm that isn't irrigated. What does everyone think of this strategy?

I picked up a large Hoenei and a smaller 3g Wedellianum at the MB Palms open house in Orlando yesterday. How much sun are you giving these guys? Given inland central Florida sun may be a different beast.

I’d give them shade especially the “H”; plus mucho agua.

I’ve found them prone to drying out. Not sure how they’ll like Sam Frank’s Disco; might be too cool.

But I’ll stand corrected if need be.

@Darold Petty has a little grove of them in his front yard, so I think it'll be OK if the roots can breathe.

Who's had luck with Syagrus weddelliana in full sun in California (or other Mediterranean climates)? I'm seeing it do better than I expected in part-sun and curious whether anyone's got it in all-day sun. 
I did see a couple in Rio in full sun at the bus station, but not looking the best.
