Pinanga Declinata - anyone growing it?

I recently planted a 1 gallon Pinanga Declinata and seems that little is available online about these.  There are some nice habitat photos at PalmPedia (thanks to Dean for such a valuable resource!) but I was wondering if there are any pictures out there of people growing these in their gardens?  If so, please post.

Here's mine:

Beautiful plant. I ordered seeds from RPS and have had good success with germination. Seeing as though other pinangas, lanonias and licualas from Vietnam do well for me I have high hopes this will grow in Encinitas.

For the last 4 years or so I've done yearly trips to Vietnam to see/collect the palms I'm interested in.

This was inspired by the difficulty of growing Colombian etc understory  palms. Vietnam has the climate that creates tough palms. They have a dry season and elevation to give some cold tolerance but also get hot so can handle the climate variations.  My advise would be to seek  out P baviensis/annamensis /spiralis and kontumensis especially.

Lanonia magalonii / calciphila/dasyantha and gialianensis are great also.

I'm guessing palmpedia would have mostly my photos. 

Will be back in Vietnam in early September with a list of destinations. Hoping for Nenga  baneansis especially.  The others above are all fairly easy to see/collect(except kontumensis which is in an isolated area)

Sorry don't do garden pictures though

Go Vietnam palms

Saw these in the wild in Vietnam in March. Beautiful palm. Took heaps of pics just got to find them again. We were taking 4G of pics a day. Gotta organise my digital albums better.

@Hilo Jason any updates on yours? I’ve got a 4” from Floribunda that’s slowly coming up and I’m pretty excited to see what it turns out to be as well.

This is very high up on my wishlist. Based on its origin, it should have some degree of cool tolerance.

I will try to take a picture in the daytime. Really nice palm and it’s flowering now but no seed yet.

Sorry for the delay, here are the requested photos of Pinanga Declinata. I wish I had more and I wish I planted in a better location and not hidden behind other palms.

Here’s one more photo. I trimmed a couple of other palms to get a shot of the entire Pinanga

I thought I had found my next to die for palm but I read that it clusters but yours looks like a single trunk. Are the 'experts' correct or are you going to destroy my life and confirm the clustering horror story ?

In breathless anticipation,

It’s a clustering palm. The solitary palm in front of it is Bentickia Condapanna

Why is it that all the palms with nice leaves and pretty trunks that would survive at my place are always icky clustering types.
