A couple of kerriodoxa elegans

Featured Replies

I have a few kerriodoxa floating around the garden in various locations. My one time absolutely favourite palm. I also have around another 600 in pots doing well in the hothouse. Some n deep forest tubes and others in 140 mm containers. What’s not to love about them there spectacular palms. Some what cool tolerant as well taking temperatures as low as 2 degrees Celsius in my garden and quite tough I have planted seedlings and they are doing fine. But a palm that will drink whatever water you give it provided there is good drainage.

I tore mine out.  The leaves never looked good even in a protected spot from winds.  They still tore up.

They do love a protected spot, definitely out of the wind. Sometimes you keep persisting trying to grow a certain palm when no matter what you do it’s doomed for failure.

Yes.  I've decided just because it will grow for me, if it's not a beautiful palm, or plant for that matter, then I'll move on to something else.  No need to have ugly in my gardens just because it grows.

I do the same if it struggles and just doesn’t perform, dig it out and replant with something else. I have even dug out runt joeys replacing them the pick of the litter losing grow time to something that’s way behind just not worth it.
