Marojejya darinii tolerant of cool temperatures

[happypalms]

Iam quite confident my marojejya is taking winter quite well. It had survived two winters a young palm. This is the first winter in the ground and it seems quite happy.

I think this will be a winner for you. Cool temps are not the issue with this one. Low humidity and not keeping them constantly moist is their enemy but you are in a good part of the world for it. Plant more.

A real gem, it’s in about the wettest place in my garden, at the bottom of drain under irrigation, and me on the hose it’s in good hands. Rare palm available if you look and pay but tricky to get the growers to part with. You  need good bartering power with this one, I think one sabinara is the going rate for a darinii.

I germinated and was growing about 30 of them in pots in Perth. None could take Perth. They’re almost aquatic in nature. They hate schizophrenic weather.

My climate doesn’t seem to bother it, the best part about my area is I can grow a lot of palms both southern growers cannot grow and a lot the northern growers cannot grow, yes there are a few tropicals and temperate varieties I can’t grow, but my broad scope of varieties I can grow is rather diverse!

You should try Dictyocaryum lamarckianum if you can find seed. Should be a good climate for it in your area. Also any Clinostigma. You’re probably growing them already.
