I'm happy to have this Syagrus ruschiana in the garden.  It has already produced some seeds.

Nice sunsets!

I read that this palm in habitat grows in very rocky thin soil conditions.  If you have similar conditions it might be worth a try and see how it does.

Syagrus ruschiana has a very thin and long eophyll. As all Syagrus spp (except the subgenus Lytocaryum) it is a remote-tubular germinator. This seedling I have received from @Kai on 2017-06-03, who germinated it in February 2017. I repotted it the same day in a small 8x8xH9 cm plastic pot. The soil is a very fast draining mix of Seramis® + LECA + fine pine bark.
