Kerriodoxa elegans doing well in the garden let’s see them again

[happypalms]

Such a beautiful palm and there are some real stunners out there in palm land. Let’s see them again. You could plant hundreds throughout the garden and have a wonderful tropical look every step you take. I have got about 20 planted throughout the garden so far and will planting more!

After growing happily,  although very slowly, my poor Kerri succumbed to the recent heat wave after surviving everything nature threw at it for the last 2 years.  I have decided to sell off a lot of my non palm pot plants, mainly for much needed space and a more realistic work load.

 So sorry to hear @peachy , we are having hot , dry winds this morning. The humidity drops , winds blow , and temps rise . I watered very well yesterday , soaking the ground good , but there is very little we can do for high pressure systems that suck the moisture out of everything. For us , in Southern California , Fall is not the best time . About 8 years ago we had a heat wave come through that lasted a few days , temps above 100f every day . It ended up killing my large Rhopalostylus Sapida in the courtyard . I loved that palm , grew it from a seedling . It was about 10’ tall when it died . Harry🤬

Those Kerriodoxas Elegans are beautiful. Truly admirable, and whoever cultivates them will be their owner and master of these exotic luxuries. Mine are already sprouting from their long slumber. Up with you, growers, for the seeds must awaken from their long sleep!

You’re Rhopalostylis another victory hot dry weather, growing palms can be so rewarding and so traumatic all in one day. If it’s not the cold it’s the heat and lack of humidity, water they are one of the modt tempermental plants around .

Grow more of them the world needs such beauty!

We should all cultivate these beauties. They are the most exotic luxury. Those who choose not to cultivate them are missing out on valuable palm trees and much more.

That’s a beautiful one. Looks about 20 plus years old. About the same age of my large kerriodoxa it’s 25 so hopefully one day we can get ours to flower and luck up on some seeds together depending on who gets what in the boy girl department. Sharing a bit off pollen. Will be interesting!

Oh I forgot Hawaii the land of looking at palms and they grow when you look at them, lucky Hawaii growers throw a seed over your shoulder and they grow like crazy!

Love mine too! Saw my first one a few years ago @ Selby Gardens and got a 3g plant shortly after. It’s a nice 3’ x 3’ size now
