itaya amicorum

[Scott Cohen]

I have another batch of Itaya seedlings, 2 leaf and looking great! When mature they develope large spoke leaves over 5 ft accross  with silver undersides. It's also worth noting this palm has no spines or anything sharp to stab those that pass.

Any chance I could grow that here?  Like any chance at all.

To the best of my knowledge they like warm tropical, so in the ground would probably be difficult. However I don't know anyone who has tried....

Scott, I have two that have been in the ground for many years. You have seen them.

Well perhaps we should try........

They are cold hardy to lower 30's. I'm just not too sure how they'll do with consistent low humidity and even less amounts of rain through the year.

I have more Itaya ready! 20 available and all pushing a second leaf. $10ea or $8ea for orders of 10 or more.

I think they would grow in SoCal, but need water and will most likely be slow. They are related to Thrinax and Coccothrinax, just a shady, wetter habitat. Scott, will you be around this weekend? I will be in Miami for poker and might take few off your hands. :)

Scott, I PMd early on but did not get a reply. I hope my message made it to you.

Thanks Mike, I was actually referring to Sabal Steve's question on if they would grow in Cali
