Show us your Phoenix roebelinii

[Mazat]

Phoenix roebelinii is not as famous as its big sister CIDP, so to speak.

Show us your Phönix roebelinii no matter how big in a pot or planted out, indoors or outdoors...

[Harry’s Palms]

I just went through my palm pictures and realized I never took any decent photos of my Phoenix Roebelini , I have several large ones in the ground . Most are in the front yard by the street. This is the only pic I could find where you can see a few of them . One or two of these are volunteers that sprouted on their own. Harry

Behind and to the right of the Dioon are two large ones . To the left is a cluster from a prolific pair that were planted as babies and produced copious amounts of offspring . It got to the point where I would just pull them up or they would’ve taken over the space.,

2nd is a triple but the 3rd has stayed very small under the canopy of the other 2.

A keen eye can spot it though...

Just picked up this one at the orange big box store.  Not bad for US$15!

[Harry’s Palms]

@Mazat thank you ! Here are pics that actually show the Pygmy Palms. Harry

A trio 

A pair, these were dug up from a house a couple blocks away . He didn’t want them . “Too prickly!”

These were volunteers from the big multi on the other side of the Dioon 

Another pair

The multi that was a producer of many seedlings that were either moved or just weeded out.

wonderful specimens and very large, Harry.

The smaller one on the left is a naturally sprouted offspring of the big one on the right. Only a few years old from seed and it has already started blooming.

Original group consisted of two bigger stems and two smaller ones.

[happypalms]

Here’s a couple for you to look at both are around 30 years old.

Here you are. These are mine. Just little babies. Seeds had been collected in September last year on the island of Madeira.

One of mine I have a lot of them!!

[Axel Amsterdam]

Beautiful pygmy dates.

Here are three in a pot that survived our mild winter outside in Amsterdam. An absolute exception ofcourse, but goes to show that a rainy winter above 30f doesn’t bother them despite their origin.

Here’s mine. First pic was about a month after planting in April 2023:

 

Here they were in November 2024:

 

And now after barely being able to keep the sheets over these things during the snowstorm, here they are now 2 years after planting:

 

It hurt to cut that many green fronds, but all the leaflets were dead, so they weren’t much benefit anyways. Once they get a decent crown of fronds the half cut fronds will be completely removed. Both palms are female, so no seed production. Both are flowering right now.

yes, cutting off the beautiful fronds is a process that we also know well and it always hurts to do it. your two flowering females are also very beautiful specimens and will recover well again and thrive magnificently.
