Hi everyone i bought this Parajubaea in May 2009 off a bloke thats growing alot of them down on his farm . He told me he thought it may be torallyi microcarpa but i am not sure as its taking along time to go pinnate etc . Jonathan also got about 9 parajubaeas off him and he thinks most of them are cocoides .

Here is the farm where i got the Parajubaea

http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=18329&st=0&p=307371&fromsearch=1&#entry307371

So here are some close ups to help decide that it is torallyi or cocoides ???

My vote is torallyi as well. Couldn't distinguish var. microcarpa from var. torallyi.

I think the main difference is seed size between micro and tory?

Lookin pretty sweet there Troy!!

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

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!

I've read that tvm is less monsterous/leaner, as well.  But who knows...my tvm are certainly MUCH slower than tvt...almost as slow as sunkha.

My tvm is definitely slower than my tvt but my sunkha is by far my fastest but it does get the most sun and its planted in full sand where the others are in heavy clay

I agree on all counts. I'd say tvm are about a third the size of tvt. Sunkhas are skinnier still, though they fruit young, as charter members of Early Puberty Club.

Looking good Troy, it seems to be loving the growing conditions. You must be having long talks with it too.
