Another rare palm synecanthus warscewizianus

[happypalms]

A real beauty this one is. Almost a chamaedorea like look to the juvenile stage and stem. It will be interesting growing this understory palm from South America.

That’s what I like to see a man with an eye for a vision, that’s what gardening is all about that vision inside the mind then seen through the eyes!

Winters here get pretty cold for usually a few days or sometimes a week. Otherwise the days reach 16 - 18 degrees Celsius and early mornings seldom go down to zero. Usually between 7 down to 2. 
 

A friend of mine who lives in Durban grows palms and other tropicals. I bought this one from him.

I don’t have this particular species, but I do have S. fibrosus, an attractive little palm with a fountain like habit. My database shows I have two S. warscewiczianus, but they must be lost in the ether, I don’t remember ever seeing them. The infructecence is kind of cool, like a little galaxy of small BB sized seed.

That is really nice Tim. Don’t seem to see these on Palmtalk often (or anywhere for that matter) and I’m not sure why. I’ve never grown them personally but they should be suitable even for smaller gardens and I believe they have a bit of hardiness (not that it’s required in Hawaii). Who else is growing Synechanthus? Would love to see others especially if grown in a temperate climate.

Wow. Plus this part. I want one!

As usual you got the good stuff in Hawaii again! Top quality palms you got there, just throw a seed anywhere and it will grow amazing place to grow palms Hawaii my kinda gardening style tropical.

Thanks Tim, this palm would be great for smaller gardens and spaces, but I have no idea of its cold hardiness. I’m sure you could ‘fit it in’ somewhere in your garden. 😄

Mahalo Richard, living in the tropics does have benefits, especially for growing palms.
