So Im trying to decide what clustering palms to add to really give that tropical oomph to my new garden. Of course everyone loves the sealing wax palm but what other clustering/clumping palms do you love?

I like pinanga coronata a lot. Especially this form of it:

That is a nice form, I picked up a seedling of P coronata after seeing that palm and I hope it grows into one of those! The hydriastele look to be an interesting group too!

Pretty hard to go past the clumping Ptychospermas.......... I use Ptychosperma macarthurii extensively. Very fast growing in the tropics and humid subtropics and will tolerate waterlogged soils.

There are so many . . .

Dypsis lutescens, baronii, pembana, arenarum, albofarinosa, heteromorpha, "cuesta linda", psammophila, "Sp 595"; Ptychospermas up the wazoo - consider P. waitianum and burretianum, both cute as can be with bronzy red new leaves.

Syagrus! Flexulosa, ruschiana. Chamadoreas! Costaricana, hooperiana, seifritzii,  . . . .

Rhapis. Caryota mitis (and variegated); Arenga engleri, undulatifolia, tremula.

And the list goes on . . . .

Thats a lot of favorites, Dave :P

 

Andrew, Im actually replacing many of the P. macarthurii that are already around the house. They're pretty common here and its a small yard. They also spread and like you mentioned grow very fast, Ive been cutting them out from beneath the house!

Dypsis pembana, D. cabadae, D. lanceolata, and similar looking palms

Oncosperma spp. are amazing 

Nypa fruticans 

Cyrtostachys elegans also has a beautiful form - underrated

I really like clumpers since they do well in marginal climates. If they get knocked to the ground every few years so be it, it is difficult to actually kill something that will just regrow from the roots.

Are any of these at least marginal in 8b?

AND

would quickly regrow from roots

AND

be frost tolerant?
