Planted a Hedycepe

Finally I have a good canopy to be able to plant these as they can’t handle the sun in the San Diego hill country

Just a little rootbound lol! Good looking palm and one of my favs! That one you had in San Clemente was legendary🤙

Hi Steve! Long time! 

[Foggy Paul]

That will look great next to the Rhopie! (Said as someone with the same combo)

[happypalms]

Reckon it might be Chrysalidocarpus. C prestonianus? But I agree with the sentiment, will look great there with some canopy pogobob! Hedyscepe remains my favourite species and this is a perfect specimen at that size.

That is a great addition to the garden.  I failed so many times, and the one remaining one I have is across from one of my Rhopalostylis in Carlsbad.  The Rhopalostylis continue to get taller but the Hedyscepe looks stalled in time after nearly 15 years.  I've never been able to figure out how to grow this species.

That’s a perfect size to plant out and looks to be perfectly grown. Good luck with it @palmbob

This is shocking to me cuz both the ones I have in the ground are doing well and I’d say I have similar climate to you. Guess I’ve got dumb luck. 
 

I’ll post a few pics when I get home in a few days

There is a couple of super tall ones in Ventura at one of the Sullivans apartments . Harry

I've posted this before but worth a second look!

Before and now. New owner turned off irrigation

Super sad! The person who bought my last house did the same thing! He kept asking me what was wrong with the palms and I told him…uhhh you could start by watering them! One by one they keeled over to the point I could’nt go over there any more. Ambositrae, Decipiens even the giant two headed white Dypsis I had🤬Only the bullet proof palms survived.

All gone🙁

Truly sad! The people who live at my former home fell for Jerry Browns fear mongering climate change propaganda. "its going to be 130degrees and there's never going to be snow in the mountains!"

[Urban Rainforest]

Yeah things be crazy right now! Where I live in Clairemont there want be anyplace to plant palms anymore because they are slapping together ADUs/apartments in backyards all over the area! Im trying to buy another house/garden but up against investors driving the price to over a million dollars! 
 

Im glad one of the OG gardens of Jim Wright is Still intact looking like the Amazon popping out of suburbia. I drive by it often as its close to where im living and it brings back some good memories! He used to give me tours of his garden and sell me seeds like you did Bob when I first was getting started🤙
