I know why they sing songs about the color, 'blue'...

Update: Copernicia fallaensis

[Mandrew968]

And this pretty blue bert is flowering for the second time--this time more than twice as robust a production!

Looking good! C. fallaensis is king. Structurally my favorite palm anywhere.

[Mandrew968]

Up dates of the fallaensis at my in-law's--Tahina and Trithrinax in the middle picture as a bonus.

[Mandrew968]

I have to tie up some of the fronds for sidewalk traffic...

Andrew, i'm envious of all the Copernicias you have....i only have what i hope is fallaensis, and alba, xTextillis, and macroglossa....

...here is a pic of the fallaensis, beverage bottle for scale, taken earlier this morning.

How old is this copernicia fallensis Palm tree?

more than 12 years from seed I would guess, could be 15 years old depends on climate/care.  In wet south florida I'd say 12-15years from seed.  That one is very well taken care of, Rusty knows how to make them happy.  They are fertilizer pigs(especially potassium) and not just any fertilizer.  A palm special(8-2-12 in florida) with controlled release is the way to go in rainy florida.  You have to stop the "rinse out" by summer rain, so "slow release" doesn't work well here.  Long term community wisdom says they prefer slightly alkaline soil, they like water in the heat and they like to be well fed.

Can we get an update on the palms? @Mandrew968
