My little hookeri didn't do much over its first winter, but the spear started moving nicely in the last month or so and now its first red frond is opening.

Remains to be seen how this will do longer term here in chilly SF...🤞

Who can testify to their cold hardiness? How did it go when the going got tough? I'm thinking mine will do ok outside here, but I've had it overwintered in my garage for a couple years. Scared... Plus, I have a ton of sun on my property, so I need to figure that out.

mine wen through the 2022 Winter apocalypse. You can still see some of the burned leaves in the photos i posted.  I wrapped them in burlap with some c9 lights and they both are growing like champs now.  They were wrapped for about 4 days.

 

Mine definitely seem to love being on a filtered sun side of the yard.

My first ever Chambyronia frond leaf!  Bought in March and still in a five gallon paint bucket.

well, I planted it into the ground this afternoon.  The only thing is, the spot I have chosen for it, I dug a hole about 16" in diameter and when I got to about 10" below, I found an old tree stump, looks like oak, and it looked like it was cut down and the stump grinded many years ago.  I hacked away another 4 or so inches or it but can't remove the entire thing that goes very deep.  Is it OK to plant a palm over an old stump that's 14" below and it's still quite solid?  Or will the roots continue to decompose below and may become a root rot problem?

Looks great! 

So 80 days per leaf at this size of a tree... Interesting.

To give some perspective, the top of that newest leaf is probably about 11ft. 10.5 fr at the least

In either of my gardens I never saw any damage from cold down to 28f.

I had 7 in 1 to 5 gallon pots under canopy of a carrot wood tree that survived 6” of snowfall and 30f with not a single spot on any leaf.

It’s the Santa Anna that tear these up here. They grow so slow that they spend most of the year recovering if it’s a bad windy season. Last year despite the cold the winds were pretty mild so they all came out unscathed. You get 2-2.5 leaves a year so unlike Archontophoenix which just blast out of any winter damage by late spring these grow best if planted where they won’t be in a wind tunnel.

This is the advice I needed. I'm considering planting mine in the ground next spring.

First red leaf since I planted it into the ground in June.  I think it is not as red as the leaf when it was in a 5 gallon pot.  This one is a bit more like salmon color.

This is theoretically absurd.

 

new leaf opening in the larger of the two trubks again. Last on right about this stage as you can see above in the thread was August 24th. We are talking about ~50 days for a new leaf to open. Maybe I have a genetic freak

That is good to hear!

I think they like your warm humid summers better than my cooler less humid summers.

are the new fronds shorter in the winter months (in south Florida where it's still 70s and 80s)?

I have two where the new frond is only half the height of the previous frond.  Something wrong or normal?
