this one was made from seed way back in 1989!
as you can see the seeds fall on the stem and sprout on the bases of the old leaves

    I don't know exactly but it's very tall, to collect the seeds you need a long ladder

    My syagrus romanzoffiana have grown over the roof  above  of the house, I made them from seed in 1986, I was 18 years old

    Same thing happened with my Livistona chinensis this year also.  I was cleaning up the trunk and when I pulled off an old leaf base and discovered a seed had sprouted there!  IMG_20241224_114610254.thumb.jpg.178e30c16190ac266eb41d02156d51d7.jpgIMG_20241224_114747594.thumb.jpg.fa2c4fba00dd4c26423dcaf62a582bfc.jpg

    Crazy the variation on these. I like the skinny, dimiuitive trunks on these- like @Fusca's tree. Mine has about a 2' diameter base and probably 15' of trunk after 15 years. Anyone want to trade? Ha haha.

     

    Hands down a better choice than W. robusta any day of the week.

    Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

    Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

    looks great, gyuseppe. someone here had tried it in a greenhouse and he had then given plants away. but both died indoors, even though the room was heated and a little underfloor heating under the plants didn't work either, so to speak.
    you can often find them in discount stores here, but they are very fragile, so i'd rather not ....
