Couple of nice Pinanga coronata tubes

[happypalms]

One of the easiest Pinanga to the coronata. Propagated these ones from my own palm in the garden super easy to grow and germinate. About 24 years back I asked Rich trapnell of rosebud farm do you have any recommendations for a palm to grow that would be a big seller, he sent me ten coronata seedlings as a trial and these are the new varietie to be growing, well that was back then, now there are so many new varieties available it’s hard to keep up with them. Easy on the eye and a lot going for it, it’s just that the buying public have there eyes on golden canes for me this one is a much better choice! If you want a relatively fast growing palm if given attention to screen out the neighbour this is a good choice quite sun tolerant and shade tolerant, a good all round palm!

Couldn’t agree more about the choice of this palm over C. lutescens for a variety of reasons. Be careful though, some of the cultivars burn in full sun, even here in Hilo. Then it’s not such a good alternative.

At what point can these tolerate full sun?

Not full blazing sun, the more humidity the more it will tolerate the sun. I would say 65 percent sun perhaps a tad more depending on your location and UV factor. Definitely not full blazing Arizona sun that is for sure. But tolerant only once have I seen my one suffer over 24 years and that was in drought that was killing native trees in the bush and were talking gosh darn dry living in a matchbox weather system that had practically had the east coast of Australia on fire a few years back, if you remember that on the news about Australia!

Una de las Pinangas más fáciles de cultivar que la coronata. Las propagué de mi propia palmera en el jardín, son muy fáciles de cultivar y germinar. Hace unos 24 años le pregunté a Rich Trapnell, de Rosebud Farm, si tenía alguna recomendación de una palmera que se vendiera bien. Me envió diez plántulas de coronata a modo de prueba, y esta es la nueva variedad que estoy cultivando. Bueno, eso fue en aquel entonces, pero ahora hay tantas variedades nuevas disponibles que es difícil seguirles el ritmo. Es agradable a la vista y tiene mucho que ofrecer, solo que el público comprador tiene los ojos puestos en las cañas doradas. Para mí, ¡esta es una opción mucho mejor! Si busca una palmera de crecimiento relativamente rápido, si se le presta atención para proteger a la vecina, esta es una buena opción. Es bastante tolerante al sol y a la sombra, ¡una buena palmera para todo uso! 

They are beautiful. I love the Pinanga Coronata. It's very, very tropical. And even though it's a dense palm tree, its shape is still very tropical.

I used to have one in South Florida more or less full sun, unfortunately it did not look its best. They benefit from some shade

There quite common in Australia no, once rare but a dime a dozen now! But a lovely palm that’s easy to work with.

They like morning sun, but not full blazing afternoon sun, and they grow well in bright dappled light as well. A lovely little palm to grow and easy to propagate.
