A few palms from my garden

[Brian]

I dont post nearly as much as I should so today I thought I would post photos of some of my palms in my garden. A lot of the names are from memory so hopefully I get them right. I grew all of them from seed over the last 20 years.

First up is Itaya amicorum

[Brian]

This was one of the first palm seeds I germinated.

Arenga tremula

[Brian]

A group of Hyophorbe lagenicaulis 

[Brian]

A group of Hyophorbe verschaffeltii

[Brian]

Carpoxylon macrosperma and Wallichia siamensis

[Brian]

normanbya normanbyi

[Brian]

One of my favorites Caryota zebrina

[Brian]

Licuala spinosa y Sabal yapa

[Brian]

A couple of Licualas but I dont remember which species

[Brian]

A  Ravenea hildebrandtii in the middle of a group of Encephalartos

[Brian]

This one struggles in our hot and humid climate but its looking okey now. 

Arenga hookeriana

[Brian]

This is another favorite of mine. It has the most beautiful silvery, white underside of the leafs. Its hard to capture the beauty in a photo. 

Coccothrinax boschiana

[Brian]

These have been pretty fast growers in this climate.

Coccothrinax crinita 

[Brian]

Coccothrinax crinita subsp. brevicrinis

[Billy]

Super nice! I'm guessing this is in Caleta?

[Brian]

This is a second generation Dictyosperma album var. album. My first one seeded and then died. Luckly the seed was good and germinated easily.

Yes, very close to Caleta.

[Brian]

Serenoa repens

[Brian]

Kentiopsis oliviformis and Dypsis pembana

[Brian]

I got these seeds from Bo when he gave me a tour of his first gaarden in Hawaii,

Dypsis lanceolata

[Brian]

Another great palm for this climate,

Bismarckia nobilis 'Mayotte"

Too many too fast tripped the spam filter maybe.

This is an example of why I bought Dictyosperma Album. Yours looks perfect. Unfortunately I don’t think mine will ever look as healthy. We don’t get the heat or humidity needed. Oh well….

Why are these not grown more? 😍

[Tassie_Troy1971]

Epic palm collection and mostly seed grown  well done 👏 

[Brian]

For some reason any photo I had with the naming convention of bismarckia wouldnt load so I took new photos and named them differently.

The placement of the one in the second photo is a bit of a problem. Its a female and the seed inflorescence damage the tin roof when they fall. I try to keep them trimmed but its getting a bit tall to trim them.

Bismarckia nobilis 'Mayotte" 

[Brian]

Here are a few Pinanga which seem to do really well here. Hopefully I get the naming correct.

Pinanga dicksonii

pinanga javana

pinanga kuhlii

 

[Brian]

To the right of the pinanga kuhlii in the previous post should be Calyptrocalyx elegans

[Brian]

Calyptrocalyx pachystachys

[Brian]

This palm always looks good even when we have heavy onshore wind which pretty much burns everything else. The only problem is that they die suddenly a year or two after producing flowers. Not sure why but they literally die one day to the next. Ive been luckly and always manage to get viable seed before they die off.  This one is a third generation.

Allagoptera arenaria

Your place looks like a Tropical Resort! 🤩  Very, very nice!  

[Brian]

This one survived a lightning strike to a big Roystonia that was next to it. Lost the Roystonia and a few other around it but this one managed to survive. It was touch and go for several years and I really thought it was also going to die but it seems to be almost fully recovered. You can see in the photo of the trunk, changes to its thickness. This happened each time it looked like it was going to die off from the lightning strike.

Chambeyronia macrocarpa

Thank you!

[Brian]

Im trying to use Kerriodoxa elegans to hide the transformer on the property.  Hopefully in a few more years this area will be completely hidden. 

Kerriodoxa elegans

[Brian]

Hydriastele microcarpa. I think its been moved to Gronophyllum?
