Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

Beauties!  Hope my A. Caudescens will eventually look as good as yours, but it has struggled with the sun here in SoCal.  The newer leaves seems to do ok, but the older ones perpetually burn.

They are both slow growers to begin with but then pick up speed of growth in time.  Anybody growing any other species of Allagoptera?

I missed this post. All´s garden is a joy for the eye. And he still was adding all kind of palms he was germinating, like the Attalea dubia he collected on our trip to Guaratuba
