Purchased a nice little Calpytrocalyx albertisianus zone push

[happypalms]

It will be interesting if this palm survives winter. There are some nice Calpytrocalyx palms but unfortunately most are quite cold sensitive there are a couple of cool tolerant ones. So I will go for a zone push with this one. No special attention in regards to cold protection apart from the hothouse time will tell if winte4 claims another palm.

Before I really got “into” palms , I thought the only palm that had the red leaf when first opening was the Chambroynia. Then I saw some others have the same trait . That one puts on quite a show. Harry

There are a lot of new palms out there now. If only they were available 25 years ago. The palm market is forever changing with new palms in constant demand. But there still remains the winners that will always be in the top end of the market like the chambeyronia it will never fade away the new leaf colour might fade away but the chambeyronia will always have its place as a top ornamental.

They actually turn into sizable mature palms in the right climate. Here’s an old one at Flecker BGs in Cairns. Even if they don’t grow to this scale in the subtropics they are nice as juvenile specimens with the new growth colour. Good luck Richard and Kris!

One of my favorite genus.

Not sure about the ID of mine though

Nice one Tim a bit of photography going on there as well. That will give the chambeyronia lovers something to look at including myself.
