They're fast! I'd already grown them from seed, but I didn't remember they were fast,second leaf and germinated at the beginning of May.

    Yeah, they sure move along! Probably right up there with Washingtonia speed-wise; maybe faster..

    Yes Harry, this summer I germinated 20 species of palm trees, I also bought seeds of 4 species of chamaedorea in Europe, not even 1 germinated! I have decided that I will not buy seeds, but I will exchange them with people on this forum.

    They grow by the thousands in my area. Just about every part of the subtropical rainforest you go into they are there. Often seen growing with Livistona Australis and linospadix monostachya and lepidozamia peroffskyana in their habitat. You have some great Australian palms there !

    Australian palms have a great presence in a lot of Southern California gardens and landscaping. Harry

    The greatest thing with archontophoenix is your driving and come around a corner in the forest and the view of thousands of them in habitat is quite spectacular, they may be common in my area but they still have that beautiful affect on the eye.

    Sure seems like Socal is a winner for Aussie palms. Funny that in Florida some are good growers(alexandre, myolensis, maxima) and some are not so good/happy including cunninghamiana and purpurea which may not like our sun/heat. A number of livistonas do very well here. Cunninghamiana have thin trunks and smaller crowns here. When I lived in SoCal I had a cunninghamiana triple right across the coastal highway from my apartment, very nice looking palms. Here its either the sandy soil or combination of sun/heat(to 95F) and sandy soil. Further south the alkaline soil is reported to be a possible issue.

    Formerly in Gilbert AZ, zone 9a/9b. Now in Palmetto, Florida Zone 9b/10a??
