One of the potted palms I pulled out from canopy for spring evaluation was my Ravenea julietiae. I bought it at the Palm Beach sale a couple years ago. It looks more like a cycad than a palm. It was about the same size then as it is now. It is glacially slow. it struggled for me on the back lanai under shade cloth. I didn't dare expose it to full FL sun and I worried the FL swelter was slowly doing it in. Finally, in desperation last year I moved under shade canopy in the jungle. To my surprise it has grown two new fronds and is a deep green. Recently, Cali PTers posted their successes of growing this species in the ground and I wondered whether this species preferred mediterranean climates. I did research and found very little info about this species except it likes a tropical climate. It really is a mystery palm

It does kind of look like a cycad -- a pretty one. Very elegant palm, you inspire me to look into this one more.

@PalmatierMeg, R. julietae are nice plants and apparently reasonably adaptable.

I had two in full sun in pots for a number of years that I just planted out.

@Kim I’ll bet they’ll rock your place!
