Easiest & Toughest Palm?

[Pal Meir]

Which is the easiest, and which is the toughest palm for you to grow? — In my case (only potted palms in Germany) the easiest was Washingtonia robusta and the toughest Chamaerops humilis. The following photos show a Washy only two years since germination and a Chamaerops, which survived even my over two years lasting world trip  (what the Washy didn’t ).

Sabal palmetto is pretty easy to grow, they don't really care about what type of soil they are in, they got some cold hardy news, and they can tolerate full sun to about part shade. They just don't light their roots being chopped or cut up!

 

The toughest palm, probably a coconut, well in a pot. Slow growing, needs a "sandy" and really well draining soil. But I like them.

Here Canaries, bangalows and queens are weeds and need to be removed from my garden constantly, due to bird droppings.

As well as my own self sown microspadix, hooperiana, oblongata, klotz and kentia, 

Toughest? well we have stopped pushing boundaries, it was too disappointing and unsatisfying,

but we have a 10cm Reinhardtia gracilis seedling that has not moved a centimetre in five years.
