Great habitat pix! Does that area burn often or are the Syagrus small because of quick draining sand and low rainfall? Does the Allagoptera stay small as well?

Just saw the Allagoptera thread below.  Looks like they stay small too.  Thanks for all of the great habitat pix.

Just consider, in order to appreciate those posts, that the Field Guide misses pictures of almost all  the acaulescent Syagrus spp, not to mention inflorescences and fruits... Invaluable contribution

Nice little palm. I wish I hadn't been forced to give up on Syagrus genus because of fusiarum wilt.

 Thank you for all the great pictures Caixeta. Looks like a great species for anyone with limited space to try growing.

When are the seeds ready to be picked in the southern hemisphere? Here in North America, natives like Serenoa are blooming now, Sabals should soon, and seeds would be ready at the end of the growing season (I remember picking them in December last year). But in Brazil, you should be reaching the end of the growing season now, so the seeds would be very fresh.

This is a gorgeous little palm that actually looks like it has a chance of living here in South Florida--that sand looks great! When you see those ones from the red sands, forget it. Actually looks like a dwarf blue Allagoptera caudescens... how long till Allagoptera is Syagrus? :rolleyes:

Based from these pictures, it might not be the most appealing of all palms, but it's unique in it's own right. I love the habitat pictures. And surviving through all the elements. Thanks so much for the pictures!

Jeff, beauty is unique to the person. They look cute to me and blue is the magic color in my landscape. Blue palms are better than green ones!

Mauricio.S microphylla is certain a very eye catching Dwarf Syagrus, Palm no matter what genus it belongs to.  

 

Happy New Year.

In my region light frosts , it originates at 1100m altitude, so I think it is tolerant as Syagrus romanzoffiana.

@caixeta I know that habitat shots are very popular, and yours were good too,

but I am yet to see a plant that cannot be grown to look even better in a more protected/controlled environment,

like that one in your lawn.  

Cheers Steve

It is not dead, it is just senescence.
