Does anyone have any info on Pinanga sp. 'blue fruit' that Floribunda is selling? Has this been given an official name?

Thanks

I've heard of P. 'blue seed', but not 'blue fruit'.

Here are some pics of palms grown from seed that was purchased from RPS some years back.

They were lost in one overgrown corner of our nursery so are in need of a little TLC to be looking tidy again.

The seed was purchased as Pinanga sp. Blue Fruit.

So finally here is the last pic.

When these were younger they displayed mottled leaves similar to Pinanga kuhlii.

Good luck growing these. They seem to be easy and like other Pinanga that we have they need warmth, moisture and shade.

Jim,

Mine is still mottled, admittedly it is smaller than yours. But the leaves are darker green... or is it just the photo that they look lighter a bit like P. Kuhlii? I need to do a walk around & take photos...

I can vouch that they are cold sensitive. I had a lovely little one I got from a seller in West Palm Beach but last winter sent it to palm heaven. I haven't found another yet so I'm trying seeds.

Thanks for sharing all the photos Jim. I purchased a 4" one from Floribunda this spring and had no idea what it will look like as an adult.

One of my Pinanga kuhlii gets leaves like in post #4. The others have the leaflets more opposite. Glad you mentioned the shade. I've got one left that I haven't decided on where to plant it out.
