Mike (waykoolplantz),

Those are some spectacular Coryphas! Love'em!!

Here's our biggest C. umbraculifera - right in front of our house, and about 30 ft away from the front door.

Terry,

I've seen mature ones (there are three of them in a private garden near Hilo) and while very impressive. the spread from the trunk out to the tips of the leaflets is less than 30 ft. Maybe close to 20 ft... :P  I wanted something in front of the house (where we also have a small parking area) that's going to be dramatic. And I actually planted TWO C. umbraculifera.... Now THAT may have been pushing my luck!

Kris,

You can certainly cut off the lower fronds once they begin to "hang down" in a more horizontal fashion, and only leave the fronds that are more upright. This leads to one other "little" detail: these are VERY large fronds, and you need to have a place where you can dispose of them!!

the Lecomptei holds it's fronds more upright...and may be a better choice than Umbraculifera

ibreakforpalms - There is a small nursery out west on Northlake Blvd. (which is north of you) that has a large talipot out front that has been there for at least 15 years (40'+ tall). I've stopped and talked to them about it, and they said they have numerous ones on their farms throughout the area.
