Saw this guy bustin' out when I walked through the garden this morning. Even though they're common, I really love these palms (which is why I have about 20 planted in my garden).

I maintain Chambeyronia is still a rare palm--just because it's in nearly all palm collections doesn't mean you can find it in a box store... and with the variation in this species, you can find some really unique looking palms that are one of a kind. Anyone remember that banana colored one???

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I definitely had winter, it's been the worst I can remember, although fortunately no frost at my place. A lot of my palms look like crap right now (bottles, some Ptychosperma, a couple Dypsis)... That shot's showing my New Caledonia section, and the palms in the frame are Chambeyronia, Kentiopsis, and Burretiokentia, all of which are pretty hardy (i.e., still green).

Its interesting to see the growth in part sun vs. full sun. Mine is in full coastal sun but only holds a few leaves at a time with only the two newest holding green. Unfortunately, I dont have anything to provide shade.

Does anyone know how long until Chamby's can take full sun?

Yep, there's three Kentiopsis oliviformis behind and left of the Chambeyronia. They were planted as very small 1 gallon plants maybe 4 or 5 years ago, and I think they're finally settled in and moving fast.

I lost a huge branch on one of my Walnuts about 2 years ago, and this Chambeyronia has been in quite a bit of sun since then (probably 4-5 hours of direct midday sun, then shade the rest of the day). You can see a little burn on some of the leaves, which I don't have on my Chambeyronias that are in full shade. I don't think I've tried any in full sun (probably because I have very little full sun anywhere in my garden)...

Are you all referring to Chambeyronia hookeri?

I wish that was a common site in my garden! I keep hearing about chambys, kentiopsis and other rare palms being sold at Home Depot! I wish I saw stuff like that in the HDs around me!!!!!

That used to be true before the real estate crash. HD sold all kinds of uncommon palms (I bought 2 Chambeys, 2 K.o., Licuala grandis, Borassodendron machadonis and a Kerriodoxa there). Source was Morningstar, which went out of business during the recession. HD backed off unususal palms after that.
