Medemia argun

[David Clulow]

Here is a new photo of my solitary Medemia argun. To save the presbyopes from having to use their reading glasses, I have included a photo of my label ! :

I'd never even heard of this palm. Your looks like it's in top condition.

[Trava]

Beautiful palm.

[Al in Kona]

Your Medemia argun looks good. You have some very nice palms growing. What area in Venezuela are you located? Your elevation?

[mulungu]

Neat to see such a rare palm growing well. The yellow petioles are really pretty.

Hi Al in Kona

I'm in Cojedes, central Venezuela at around 600 feet elevation.

I have had little success in inserting photos into messages. I could not believe that I have to export my photos to Photobucket before they can be inserted into messages - in g-mail with Picasa it is so simple. This seems to be really complicated. So lets try it - here is a photo of my Medemia argun at just 5 years

I think it happened!

[David Clulow]

I have just found an old photo of this taxon when just two years old - so just to see if I can still insert a photo into a message lets try again

I think I can do it now - corr muy complicado

Hola David: te saludo desde el Norte de Argentina

Le das click al boton "examinar" , seleccionas la foto desde tu computadora y luego le das al boton "Attach this file"

Esta accion coloca tu foto justo arriba de las palabras "Attach files" que tiene un "clip sujeta papeles"

y a la derecha de la imagen las palabras "add to post" y "delete"

Coloca el cursor en el lugar del texto donde quieres la imagen y le das click con boton izquierdo, luego le das click a "Add to post" y asi sucesivamente con las demas imagenes

Un buen tamaño de imagen es entre 200 y 400 Kb y el maximo permitido es 2 Mb

Haz algunas pruebas y veras que es bastante sencillo

Un saludo cordial

Dear David,

Beautiful visual of the Medemia Argun,I think is also known as nubiean desert palm.I have bought 10 to 12 seeds from RPS.com and got about 90% germination from those seeds and i have retained about 2 saplings of this and rest was distributed among my friends.

Here are the visuals of it.And in my palm seeds germination thread i had posted visuals of these seeds and in a separate thread i have given ref. of Articles as to how seeds were collected as said by Tobie Spencer the owner of RPS.com

And these palms grow very well in my climated but they are still remaining in containers as of now !

Here are the videos of that 2 palm.

And all these palms do have the bluish green leaves,which are very beautiful to look at.

Lots of love,

kris.

I've noticed that those videos are from January 2011. Do you have any recent pictures of your palms; are they about the same size as they were in 2011?

Yes it has stopped growing since its in the pot and roots have started to spiral under those containers in an attempt to search for garden soil.i.e almost all the drain holes have roots coming out..

Love,

Kris Achar.

Is anyone growing Medemia in AZ or CA? I'd like to try it in Palm Springs? Anyone have any other uncommon desert palms?
