peachy Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Oh wow. That is gorgeous. Mine was in the ground for 7 years and was yet to grow a trunk when I moved housed. I never gave the ungrateful thing another thought until now. I think I feel deprived. Peachy 2 1 I came. I saw. I purchased 27.35 south. Warm subtropical, with occasional frosts.

ASHCVS Posted November 28 Report Share Posted November 28 From the Donn Carlsmith estate in Hilo. Photo taken during the IPS 2022 Hawaii biennial. Mr. Carlsmith, a graduate of Harvard Law School, served as the International Palm Society president from 1978 through 1980. The type specimen is on this property as well. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realarch Posted November 28 Report Share Posted November 28 Hey Colin, good to see you again! That palm is quite the stunner and love the size too. Thanks for the posts Knell and Andy. Here’s a photo from the then Akina garden, (previously Carlsmith), must have been 10 or so years ago. One of many C. carlsmithii on the property.
