DoomsDave Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 When you have as many as I do, you get a lot of fallen leaves. Mostly it’s like, meh whatever, but once in a while one warrants more than a bit of notice. The leaf below is from my Chambeyronia hookeri watermelon. It’s not as big as a royal leaf, but impressive, at least to me. I’m sure some of our Palm Talk denizens have others that made an impression, and/or cool crownshafts and other features revealed.

Those Chambeyronia fronds are unique in so far as they feel like leather and large, must be something to make from them apart from mulch. 2 Port Macquarie NSW Australia Warm temperate to subtropical Record low of -2C at airport 2006 Pushing the limit of palm survivabilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 @DoomsDaveif it's not too much to ask let's see a photo of your Chambeyronia hookeri "watermelon" now that it's showing off it's fresh new crownshaft. I probably have about 10 "favorite" palms but if I were forced to choose one that might be it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonoranfans Posted Thursday at 09:42 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:42 PM Satakentia Luikensis gives a nice colored crownshaft when the old leaf falls. Mine is in 3/4 day shade and the purple color lasts just a few days. The purple color has been increasing as this palm gets older it seems. 6 3 Formerly in Gilbert AZ, zone 9a/9b.

peachy Posted Friday at 11:18 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:18 PM No room here for the Chambies so I planted Calyptrocalyx species. The new leaves stay red about 6 to 8 weeks. My dud of the decade is my Archontophoenix purpurae! My veins have more purple than it does. Hello There Unca Dave by the way. Peachy, poochies, pussies and parrots. I came. I saw. I purchased 27.35 south. Warm subtropical, with occasional frosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
