You had one. You killed it

[BS Man about Palms]

[Jeff Searle]

When is someone gonna get smart and give me one of these for Christmas so we can actually see one alive in SoCal?

[amazon exotics]

where did the seed come from? any possibility of hybrids?

[Caribbean Palms]

The seed came from habitat, according to my source. There is all ways a possibility of hybridization but I don't think any of these are as they are all a uniform gray-green color and leaf shape.

[Palmdude]

Do you have any seeds or seedlings?

[Caribbean Palms]

Palmdude I have only the size pictured.

Cool! I wasn't touting my palm knowledge, just bragging about my property's excellent drainage, and micro-climate. Palm smarts don't grow palms, nature does.

In my experience matty is mostly correct here. Having grown palms in Arizona(very challenging), potted palms in socal(its not easy), and both potted and in ground palms in florida, I can say that many species are so ridiculously easy in florida it is amazing. I plant them, use slow release fertilizer and forget them in florida. A copernica fallaense or bailey is not a tough grow in florida given enough fertilizer and water they are almost maintenance free and look great. In socal, its a tough one apparently as people who are much more savy than I struggle in socal with these plants. there is an art/ experience with placement of some species, but the climate matters. the best growers have also struggled growing palms that prefer a Mediterranean climate in florida(jubaea in florida anyone?).

You're right. That's why I grow mostly brahea. But there's something enticing about trying a palm that's borderline, maybe it's the challenge. I got lucky with c. alba and c. prunifera - plant, throw in a Lutz spike and forget about them. I know you guys in Florida try silly things that are a lot of work for you like rhopies and dypsis decipiens. So us Californians are entitled to our own follies.

A palm tree friend of mine in Palm Desert is growing several copernicias. His c. fallaensis is perfect looking. The only one he has problems with is his baileyana. He said it always takes a beating during winter but recovers quickly during spring and summer. I can't wait until I start growing mine and can only hope for the same results as his.
