I'm becoming more interested in genus Syagrus beyond romanzoffiana and other usual suspects as I hope they will adapt well to SW FL climate. Those dwarf Sygraus are fantastic. I have a S. glaucascens (still in strap leaf stage) and have been seeking S. duartei. Hope more species become available in near future.

Pay attention to this Lytocaryum here too...This is probably the first picture of this new species ever shown. I`ve heard from my friend Alex from South Bahia (who first collected this palm) that Noblick and Lorenzi have seen it again in habitat last week and that they`ve realized that this species from Atlantic forest habitat is actually something new, so a third Lytocaryum species will soon be described and published:

This is one of the first photos of the new species Lytocaryum itapebiense = Syagrus itapebiensis, described by Noblick & Lorenzii in 2010. (The label »L. insignis« is misleading.)

Pal, from your experience with all these Lyto sp. ... what would you say their cold hardiness is?

The most hardiest Lytos are L hoehnei (ca 800-1000 m in SP and PR) and L insigne (ca 500-1800 m in ES and RJ). But I had/have these spp only in pots and never planted in ground. L insigne has quite strong leaves, a bit like leather.

David,

I had some Lyto W and Hoehnei at the bottom of my nursery experience 30F for 1 hour and didn't even blink. I have also seen them in gardens that consistently go below freezing almost every year.

I personally saw some Lyto W. take 24F for duration (no frost on them, under canopy) and were just fine.

these are tough little guys.

… and L insigne withstands also direct sun, even when still juvenile. But it’s not a »dwarf« Syagrus with its 10-12 m stem heights.
