Driving around and spotted this little clump of Cat Palm. I have seen it best used on a golf course West of town, where it has become an outstanding Hedge.It in indigenious to the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Chiapas and Tabasco, where it grows along rivers in rain forests:

Very nice clumps!!! Are they in full sun....???

I read that this palm needs lots of water. I´ve three 5 gallon palms. Where can I plant them? The wettest spot of my property near a pond is also the lowest and coldest. I don´t have a dry season here. Will it be OK with about 1600-1700mm/year rainfall?

Carambeí, 2nd tableland of the State Paraná , south Brazil.

Alt:1030m. Native palms: Queen, B. eriospatha, B. microspadix, Allagoptera leucocalyx , A.campestris, Geonoma schottiana, Trithrinax acanthocoma. Subtr. climate, some frosty nights. No dry season. August: driest month. Rain:1700mm

 

I am seeking for cold hardy palms!

Alberto, These Cats definitely take full sun, Our annual rainfall approximates 60 inches a year with a definite dry season during Winter and Spring with many thunderstorms and even Hurricuns(my Grandmother's pronounciation) during Summer and Fall.

They'll even take sun here in the La Tierra d'La La, what with hotness, etc., with or without g-strings . . .

I have one in my front yard that used be sheltered by the dearly departed R. oleracea, and it's still there, well-watered, with a new R. borenquenia and an old Sabal minor for company.

Oh, and they didn't even CARE about the cold on that 9-11 of California Palmdom, January 2007.

These are tough Madres . . .

My two C. cats managed to produce their first set of offspring despite the winter we had. BTW, all seeds were sent to new owners, so no mas.
