Licuala sallehana var sallehana, var incisifolia any on palm talk

[happypalms]

Two different varieties both pretty well much identical as seedlings either a very slight difference. The var sallehana has more of silver underside than the incisifolia. These one are cool tolerant surviving two winters going into a third winter and growing strong. I already have three in the ground growing well once they got there feet tucked in, they love water and warmth but seem to relax a bit in the cooler weather. Definitely looking forward to seeing them grow into something a lot bigger over the years. You could be fooled into thinking they are Johannesteijsmannia but only a clumping form. The last picture is the incisifolia var.

Lovely they are . You have a great climate , subtropical gives you the extra edge in winter plus the humidity needed for a lot of these palms. I am not that much colder in winter , about 38f coldest in winter( usually just low 40’s) , but our long , dry periods would not be conducive for these. This year is very dry at about 35% of normal rainfall. We are coastal desert , warm temperate , but very low relative humidity. Harry

I get long dry spells to the point where even some of the native plants start to suffer. Then the house water gets empty with no rainfall and the next thing you know your buying drinking water. Yet our humidity levels basically never go below 65. Now with my garden I irrigate in the dry times but all your doing is keeping them alive until it rains again. We won’t even go into bushfire season that’s another story. Yes it is a lovely climate my area especially when it rains so far this time since the cyclone hit we have hade around 950mm in about two months and that’s pretty wet and I love it.
