Ceroxylon quinduiense committed to the ground

On a Sunny May afternoon I have planted the only Ceroxylon quinduiense west of the Nullarbor I know to exist. Those who have visited here will remember the huge Rhapis humilis clump at the top of the paved ramp at the eastern edge of the block. I cut a significant part of that clump up and it should be far enough from the fence and paving. But all can be replaced anyway, asbestos fence and polypipe retic. Ceroxylon take Perth extreme temps well. I lost two bigger C. quinduiense to ants in the pots when my Father was battling the Lymphoma that claimed him at the end, dry roots are the killer, not temperatures. We will see one in the ground now ;)

Yes, but not as slow as Copernicia. Quite more noticeable if it is happy.

You are right. Cuban Copernicias are very slow....

All the best with yours but I couldn’t keep them alive in Perth and they never dried  out. Even in Albany kept moist and in full shade, once the dewpoints get into the 20-23C area they just stop, then start to lose leaves. I’ve not figured out this genus trying at least 5 or 6 species. I hope yours does well. 

Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S. Warm temperate. Csb Koeppen Climate classification. Cool nights all year round.

Hi,

good luck with it!

Seeds of this species were among the first orders I sent out when starting with palms. Unfortunately they can't take our constant summer heat at day and night...

Please keep us posted -
