Here is a small Atrovirens I just planted this past weekend here in Oakland, CA. I have it underneath a king palm and a Kentia palm for full shade all day. Here's hoping it settles in and does well! 

Greetings do you have an update on your atrovirens. Thanks

@peachy I was not going to let this one  pass this time, I regretted not purchasing it last year, well this year it was up for grabs and grab I did! It was even in flower so there  may be hope a seed or two if the palm gods are watching!

Glad you snapped up such a great specimen on offer. Good size and color, plus an inflorescence to boot. It’s obviously doing well as a potted plant and could live a long time in a container.

I missed out last year and kicked myself for not buying it, not this time the wallet came out immediately. I think $600 was a great deal and in flower, I know what it takes in years  and time to grow such a beautiful plant. A good investment I don’t think it will go in the ground as of yet, I have another 3 of them so will try one of those a bit later and see how it goes, not the cold but water issue not wanting to kill it in a drought!

Hello,

Unfortunately this atrovirens has died away (it never looked as solid as I would have wanted but I only had access to two palms from the internet). 

I plan to get more Geonoma's into the garden as soon as I can get my dirty little hands on them! 

Good luck with yours and talk to you soon!

Thanks, from what I can gather they love water and the slightest sign of no water they die. Good luck finding them they are rare!!!!
