I planted these Veitchia joannis as small 4" pots last year and they are rockets in our cool montane tropical conditions growing next to our coast redwood trees.

    Those looks cool!, btw how is the temperature in your highland garden?

    Beauties, one of my favorite palms. I tried one years ago in an exposed location which did not survive. However I’ve had two under canopy since then that are doing just fine. Veitchias in general just scream “tropics”.

    They are very nice. Pretty fast growth , even for Hawaii. It would appear that they like that location . Harry

    That looks like about two years growth down here by the coast.
