Pinanga glaucifolia

[John in Andalucia]

I'm growing more of this Pinanga sp. than any other tropical, probably because it's a tougher than most Pinangas. There is a nice specimen on PACSOA (here) provided by Colin (palmtreesforpleasure). Lovely dark, thick leaves and an all-round attractive potted plant IMO. Are many nurseries growing it? Do you have one in your collection?

John,

I've got one here. It is about 5 ft tall, with a dozen or so suckers. It is quite leaf hardy, and doesn't mark up in the winter. It holds it's own with the close competition, and the dry weather hasn't killed it, so I'd say it is one of the tougher Pinangas. It made it through our freezing episode two years ago without any marking up or ill effects.

regards,

Daryl

Glad to hear it, Daryl. So quite a contrast from some of the other Pinangas. My seedlings haven't grown as fast as I thought they would this summer. Still 2-leafers but maybe they'll pick up next year and produce a couple more leaves.

Here is a photo of mine from today...it is about 6 ft to the top leaf. The Arenga caudata behind it is on its last legs. It is 30 years old, and decided that it would flower on every single stem at the same time. So I guess the entire plant will die when it finishes fruiting, even though it has 20 stems...weird!

Aquí está una foto de la mina a partir de hoy ... es alrededor de 6 pies de la hoja superior. La Arenga caudata detrás de ella está en sus últimos pasos. Está a 30 años de edad, y decidió que sería de flores en cada tallo único, al mismo tiempo. Así que supongo que toda la planta morirá cuando termine la fructificación, a pesar de que cuenta con 20 tallos ... raro!

Daryl, wonderful

how old is your Pinanga?. Is in shade or sun?

The green trunk, which palm is that?

Excuseme for all questions

thanks for the pic.

I think this is one I'll have to try, if I can find it.

Where is it from? Does it grow in some mountain environment?

Best regards

Miguel,

It has been in the ground here for about 5 years, but had already started suckering when I bought it.

It is in 90 percent shade.

The green trunk belongs to Dypsis leptocheilos, which drinks all of the ground moisture...

Daryl, maravilloso: baba:

¿Qué edad tiene su Pinanga?. Está en la sombra o sol?

El tronco verde, que la palma es eso?

Excuseme para todas las preguntas: rolleyes:

Gracias por la foto. [/ quote]

Miguel,

Ha sido aquí en la tierra durante unos 5 años, pero ya había comenzado vástagos cuando la compré.

Es en el 90 por ciento de sombra.

El tronco verde pertenece a leptocheilos Dypsis, que todas las bebidas de la humedad en el suelo ...

recuerdos,

Daryl

Thank you, Daryl

I have five seedling of "Prince of palms". I hope to see it like yours some day.
