Masoala Madagascariensis growing well

[happypalms]

A slow growing palm that certainly lives up to its slow growing pace, 4 years old so far. Oh well Rome  wasn’t built in a day!

That’s pretty slow but worth it . Little gems. Harry

Good luck, gorgeous palm once it gets some size to it. They are slow even in Hawaii, but does pick up speed after a few years getting it’s feet set. I only had one that succumbed to some pathogen after a few years, it was starting to look pretty good. 

I’ll post a pic of one at Floribunda, it’s spectacular.

Aren’t all our palms little gems, some more so than others!

I could only imagine the one at florabunda, and if they grow slow in Hawaii heaven help my one in the subtropical climate. I take it there a shade palm?

A little tricky still, watering you have to watch!

So, here ya go, check out this M. madagascariensis at Floribunda. Snapped this last weekend and don’t really know how old it is, but 20+ years might be too conservative.

She’s a cracker that one, I somehow don’t think my ones will get to that size in 20 years in my climate, wishful thinking but it ain’t going to happen. Your spoilt for choice having florabunda down the road!

Oh wow, that’s a lovely palm Tim. My own seedlings are the slowest of anything I grow. Hopefully I’ll stick around long enough to see them get close to that stunner.
