Syagrus glaucescens pics

[hery]

Hi everybody ;

Here some photos of the only Syagrus glaucescens I know here. This palm is from a friend's garden.

The amazing fact is its early producing fruits, which lie down on the ground. Although this palm is more than 12 years old !

Best regards.

Very nice young plant! Did you collect some seeds?

[Alberto]

Very nice little S.glaucescens. I have one grown from seeds, similar in size and it that also began flowering +- 2 years ago.

Hi Pal ;

My friend has got seeds from the first blooming -some months ago- from which he obtained several seedlings. It seems to be an easily germinating species. He gave me a one leaf seedling -amongst other distributions- that grows in full sun at my home. I leave it in a pot for the time. This Syagrus glaucescens is currently at its second blooming state and is a sign of something encouraging ! Maybe, if so I will get some seeds. I haven't ask him yet. Between us I know he searchs for Yucca rostrata !

Best regards.

Padre, thanks for the pics, "choice colour when young. .

I "was" going" to order seed but see its "very appealing" when young and grows into an ugly untidy palm

This is my Syagrus glaucescens grown from seeds. It suffered from a harder freeze when it was young and since that I protect it with a big bag every winter.

Pete, I really don´t agree that old S. glaucescens are ugly palms. They have a strong character. The beautifull spiraling trunk and the very stiff silvery dark green leaflets resemble somewhat a cycad. In my opinion they will look it best in rock gardens, mixed with succulents and cactus, maybe some cycads....Here are some photos of mature ones in its rocky habitat in Diamantina - st. Minas Gerais -BR :

Hi alberto.

Could you tell me the minimum temperature suffered your glaucescens ?

[Alberto]

-5,4ºC until now

Alberto, ok, you've sold me, its the leaves that are certainly the "eye catchers", If I get seeds and grow Glaugescens , when it trunks I will put broms on it.

Love the blue/grey leaves, as I do of Syagarus campylospatha and S graminfolia. Now to find some seed of these 3

I gotta do something like that --- beautiful plant

Did your Syagrus glaucescens produce easily fruits on your climate ? I understood you brush against very low temperature. And if so did seeds easily germinating ? As we noticed here in Reunion island -where the Syagrus glaucescens is planted temperatures seldom go down under 15°c on winter night.

Also, what kind of low temperature has this spicies to cope with in its habitat ?

Best regards.

Salut Hery ! i already talk about glaucescens with Kelen soares and apparently i can take 0° C in situ and more frequently 8° C .

In any case it could be a interesting specie for mediterreanean protect area !

Alberto could you tell me ,with -5,4 if the spear pulled off or he has just leaf damaged ?

Hi Alberto is this the same S. glaucescens palm you crossed with butia eriospathe? I got 2of the seeds you gave me when you visited us in San diego to germinate it should be a pretty cool cross thanks.

Until now I only protected it from frost forming on the leaves but not with suplemental heath.

In habitat because of the altitude it sees frost some years, but not extreme cold.

Yes it is! Glad to hear this! How are the seedlings? They like a very well drained medium when young.

Thanks a bunch Padre, Ed

Hi everybody ;

Here some photos of the only Syagrus glaucescens I know here. This palm is from a friend's garden.

The amazing fact is its early producing fruits, which lie down on the ground. Although this palm is more than 12 years old !

Best regards.

Hery

Hery I noted that this palm has longer fronds then mine. Maybe the difference in climate or maybe because this is also older....

Alberto, for me -I made comparisions too- the leaves of these 2 Syagrus glaucescens are more or less the same size -sorry but I didn't display any standard object near for my pictures, as you did with your hand- Nontheless, what actually strikes me is the density of the frond crown of yours. It makes the difference in aesthetic spoken ! I would really like to known the distribution area of this species, because such difference must be due to a large habitat field. Same thing appears here with Dictyosperma album for which crown density, leaves size, crownshaft color/size -etc- differ in various ways, that being said for an island of 240000 hectares. Besides, I'm thinking about to submit a topic concerning Dictyosperma variabilities ...

Best regards.

Syagrus are not very popular here in Hawaii but I like them. Yours is beautiful. Thank you for posting the pictures and introducing me to a new species.
