Syagrus hoehnei & weddelliana

[realarch]

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?

[realarch]

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.

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.

Could you send a few down here please Richard?

Troy gave me one yesterday in an exchange, but I'd love to have a little group of them.

Next time I get them cheers. Argh life in the subtropical climate!

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.
