The first looks a bit like Dypsis lantzeana, a stunning shade of red whatever.

I'm also convinced that's a Calyptrocalyx. Here's a C. doxanthus frond for comparison.

And since I had my tall ladder out anyway (see the Wallichia disticha thread), decided to bring it over to 'Kerriodoxa Valley', where I put it up against a tall tree in order to get this view of some of the Kerriodoxa elegans there.

I hope this qualifies...Clinostigma savoryanum.  I know I've posted a few times, but it just keeps looking better and better.  The trunk diameter is ~13" at the base now.

Running the risk of being repetitive, couldn't resist this Cyrtostachys renda, which is right outside our kitchen window. (I believe in having nice views!).

If I ever move to a more tropical climate I would grow these like weeds all around my place. Used as a privacy hedge the way Dypsis lutescens are used in FL would be amazing.

Matt in SD,

Thanks for introducing me to a palm I have NEVER seen!  It looks great!  Can you give a bit of history? How long ago did you plant it, how big it was, how much has it grown, etc?

Hi K Palm,

I got that palm as a very large 10g from Rancho Soledad in June 03, it was just about to start trunking.  It was grown in Hawaii up to that point.  However, there are a few large specimens in SoCal that are Cali grown several of these are really perfect specimens.  They'll take quite a bit of sun, probably look best with maybe half day sun.  

From what I've seen, they do much better near the coast.  They have a strange habit of pushing leaves, albeit slowly, through the winter, but these leaves just will not open until the nighttime temps are into the 60s or so.  Mine opened three fronds within about a week of each other in June this year.

Good idea Bill,

But the trunk would have to grow faster than the munchkin...and the munchkin has quite a head start.  I have wondered though, how effective my before and after shots will be with my kids in them...too many variables.   But the damn dog won't sit still, my wife doesn't want her mug on the net, and Dave already stole the shoe idea.
