A unique palm sometimes referred to as one of the South American Licuala’s. First time I’ve noticed seed on this one, totally missed the flowering. Whether they will be viable not…….we shall see.

Very very pretty if I do say so myself. I got one in a container that will be going in the ground before spring. And a rather rare palm at that.

I think y'all should just surprise everybody and post pictures of overwatered majesties covered in spider mites one day.

Gorgeous palm but I have never seen them for sale here. Licuala and Lanonia are pretty much unkillable here as long the water is kept up. Not that you get much experience in HI with cold, but do you think they would be able to cope with my winter nights as easily as Licuala/Lanonia do ?

Thanks for posting and adding to my avaristic nature too.

My one is still alive peachy taking two winters and 2 degrees Celsius. And I do believe a little birdie told me he had one down Wollongong way growing and was confident about the cold tolerance.

Most Lanonia like L dasyantha, calciphila, magalonii and probably hainanensis would be significantly hardier than Chelyocarpus. But if you can grow many Licuala then Chelyocarpus might be worth a go.

Peachy,

Boy, a good question about hardiness. I’d always assumed these were tropical in its requirements, but if they are powering on down in Wollongong, well who knows. As long as cold wet and dry hot with low humidity can be minimized, they might have a go at it. They may not reach their full potential, but since they are a relatively small palm, it might not matter much. 

I know that Licuala and Lanonia can live in pots for years, maybe this one can too giving you more control over, ‘not so ideal’, conditions.

Reminds me of Itaya amicorum Tim, especially the fruit. Seems they are somewhat related.

For those of you that frequent Facebook, I’ve set up a group called “Pommy palms”, where many of the palms I’ve seen since emigrating to Australia have been documented. If you wish to be a member, copy and paste “Pommy palms” into Facebook to view the page and click “Join group”.

+Neoveitchia storckii is my dream palm and I finally got one a couple of years ago but a cleaner decided the middle bit looked ragged on the end and pulled it out. We in the know call it an unopened spear.  Woolongong is a long way south, right on the coast. I think the only endemic palms there are A cunninghamia and Livistona australis.  Hopefully by this time next year I should have enough canopy in the backyard to plant a lot of the more tropical things and then for good or otherwise I will know how they fare in the ground.

It's a beautiful palm. I used to have the similar looking 
Chelyocarpus chuco. Unfortunately it didn't like dry heat and sun.

Jonathan, yes they are closely related, both genera are tropical rainforest denizens.

Zig, yeah, beautiful palms. I also have a C. chuco which is a larger more robust, clumping palm. Too bad your palm didn’t make.
