Inspiring thread!

What is the horizontal spread of this palm?

Having seen these pictures I think I might have planted mine too close to a wall.

I planted a whole grove of them from virtual seedlings. They are about 12 years old now and I still have about three years left to trunk, so the estimate of 15 years is about right. I never fertilize my Jubaeas but I can say they love a lot of water. Gary

This goes against the myth that Jubaea are one of the slower palms .

Really great thread ,also what are you feeding her ?

Hi Troy, When I fertilize the lawn, the Jub gets some of that. Occasionally I throw a little Apex Palm Plus into the root zone also. Last summer I gave the whole garden a good shot of the Apex, plus a manganese ferting because a lot of palms were yellowing. I'll do that same ferting this year in late spring.

Sutter Bob and BS Man, How about some updated photos?

Here is a photo of Gary's Jubaea Grove from May of last year. I don't think all of them are visable in this shot.

Harry- I had to go measure, the spread is now close to 20'.

Perry! Whatever you give the palm - I want something of it. :D

All jokes aside ... never have seen such a growth of a palm what is known for more slow speed in growing.

Great job! I am quite curious to see pics of 2014 ... 8)

Hi Jason, they do take up a lot of real estate! Maybe you could 'Velez' your neighbors into letting you plant one on their property. B)

Verena- I'll never tell which stearoids I'm using on that Palm! Ha Ha! Thanks for the nice comments, it has been a fun Palm to watch grow! :drool:

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

After seeing the Jubaea seedlings that Pangea Express mentioned in another thread, it is quite obvious that these want to be in the ground. The difference between a 5g and field grown from the same seed batch was at least double. The in ground ones were at least 24" box size at 6 years. It was also evident which palms had rooted through the pots by their size.

My line is that Jubaeas are just as fast as Canaries when measured in the long term - say 15-20 years. They really book once the trunk's formed. Another plus is that while they are big palms, their crowns aren't as intrustive as Canaries' crowns, and they often carry their leaves in shuttlecock form for decades before spreading out.

Hi Mohsen, it looks like you have a nice line up of similar sized palms along that fence! My Jubaea fruited for the first time in 2014. I tried repeatedly to hybridize it last year with Parajubaea cocoides but had no success.

Mohsen, from memory your palm is about 3 years old from seed

Thanks Ben...I assume most of the ones I got from you must have been in same age ( 3 years) from seed :)

Jubeas are one of my favorite palms.

They are absolutely massive and command respect from all who view them.

i am growing several and have the two different leaf forms.

i have attached an image of our largest specimen which has been in the ground here at our home for approx.twenty years.

Christine and Kaiser lend scale to this beast of a palm.

I have always thought Chilean wine palms should be renamed emperor palms.

An absolutely great documentation! Thank you very much for sharing these pictures!

When I started ordering seeds three years ago it was the first palm I truly wanted. I got ten seeds and within two

years all of them germinated. I have them still all potted but the time will come - thanks to this topic - soon,

that I have to think about a place where I can put at least one of them. The good and bad thing is, there are

getting pretty big - so, I guess I have to be very careful with its location...
