I am going to get one of those in an order and I want to try it out as a houseplant.

If it grows it will eventually get to be too big for my space.

My wife pretty much hates palms, but for one week every 6 months she loves my chambey hookeri.

BTW. One year one of mine took a holiday, and did not grow a spear for 6-9 months. I thought dit-dar its stuffed.

But to my surprise it pushed out a large frond last summer, so i guess its OK. Just in too much shade I think.

It seems like some of them are doing great in full sun...how many leaves are you guys getting a year? mine are 1.5 to 2 leaves a year in full shade north facing and 4 hours filtered sun for the other one.

Hi Jastin, I'm about 35 to 40 miles inland as a crow flies. Eventually the sun does bleach the older leaves on my hookeri but it's far more the Santa Ana winds that causes a problem than anything. Typically I get 2 to 2 1/2 leaves a year on mine but It once opened up 3 in one calendar year, one close to spring, another in mid summer and another in the fall.

George,

I'm happy to see that your eight hookers are doing so great! :) Very satisfying! After we finished with the nursery liquidation in April I ended up with 20 of them. Siblings of your eight, but these 20 have been stuck in those 5 gallon pots for much too long so they really need to go in the ground. And soon! I figured a little group of 20 hookeris would be the way to go! After all, what do I have to lose? Nothing! :mrlooney:

I have 11 Chambeyronia in the ground & 3 are hookerii. The new leaf coloring of the hookerii is the most intense & holds the red the longest.

Twenty!!

Don't think that is a little group - more like a little forest.

But what a sight with all of them throwing off new leaves at the same time!

I'm sure that they will love escaping from their 5 gal containers and probably will take off like mine - maybe even faster with all of the rain you get.

Don't really know what makes the difference between So. Calif and HI on these, but as you can see, direct sun at 1,200 ft elevation 5 miles in from the ocean hasn't phased them a bit.

Synchronized opening of new fronds - I'll have to see how that goes! :lol: And they will definitely be perfectly happy in full sun here. They have been neglected for quite some time, so all of them are a bit on the yellow side and it'll be fun to just get them in the ground and see them green up with help from some fertilizer. That'll be a new experience for them! :lol: New red fronds will be an added bonus! :)

A question for the Doctor, did these hookerii burn when first planted or were they already sun hardened ?

I have a half dozen young hookerii I acquired recently and they have burnt some from sun exposure. Hoping they stay with me.

Mind if I cut in?

Hope not . . .

I have a hookeri in the sun and it's a bit yellah, but it still grows well, and throws new red leaves.

I think it would be greenah if it got more watah.

The ones in the shade look bettah.

Seems that macrocarpa takes the sun a bit bettah, especially when large.

For what it's worth . . . .

Sorry Wal - Missed your question of yesterday

I picked these hookerii up from Bo where they had been in the shade house of the original garden (Hilo side Big Island), hauled them over to the Kona side (sunnier, dryer side Big Island) and planted them out in this location within the week.

No steps for sun hardening, no appreciable burn experienced.

Where we are in Kona we do get cloud cover in the afternoon which could have given them some protection. There are times that I find myself surprised at what I have gotten away with after hearing the experiences of others, so don't necessarily take my experience as representative of the "norm", but for us they have been a very hardy and robust palm that has done well in full sun from day 1.

Actually, George, all those hookeris had been outside the shadehouse for a very long time. Full Hilo side sun! :) I don't even remember if I had them in the shadehouse before moving them up into the 5G pots, but if so, that was a long time ago. I mentioned in an earlier post that I had 20 of them, but after taking inventory last month I found out that I had in fact a total of 25 Chambeyronias - 20 are the regular macrocarpas and only five are hookeris. Planted all 25 on a little mound. Well, maybe not so little! :rolleyes:

I'll play! :drool:

Here's one of my hookeri growing in several hours of afternoon sun. It's acclimated quite well so far. These Chambeyronias, like a lot of palms, are quite variable. This one has very tan petioles with relatively thin leaflets. I have one in another area of the garden that is banana yellow on the crown shaft and petioles and the leaflets are are almost twice the width of this one pictured. It's a real stunner. I remember when I picked it out at Jungle Music and it was pretty beat up and everyone was laughing at my crappy palm, but I knew it was a good one.

Don't have a pic(yet) but my 'hooker' is a champ. It's been in the ground 16 months and gets sun untill about 1:45 pm peak of Summer. The plant is looking better than most of all of my other palms and is shoving spears faster than the C.macrocarpa(but that is in full sun and thrice as big)without leaf burn and full of color.

I want more of these.

I didn't even know where our C. macrocarpa was until I saw the red leaf after my husband cleared some weeds a year ago. The previous owner of our farm had the name on a list of palms she'd planted, but I hadn't gotten around to asking her where it was. Too many palms to plant and so little time... It turned out to be just past the view off the porch so I passed it everyday when I was there. I get overwhelmed by the cacophany of colors and textures and sounds and scents when I'm in Puerto Rico and stay busy dawn to dusk. My current palm inventory lists Chambeyronia hookeri and Chambeyronia lepidota as well that I've planted. Good thing the new additions are well labelled because at this moment I have no clue where I planted them. I AM working on listing where the palms are but as I said before,too many palms to plant and so little time.

Enough of my off topic ramblings and thanks for all the great photos!
