Beautiful palm that has been in the ground since 2005.  Bought as 1 gal from FloraBunda.2110429341_Arengaengalari0.thumb.jpg.380580fb095508a73a8590e13e0af51d.jpg

This palm does excellent in Galveston. Gigantic one at Moody Gaardens. I had a Arenga Micranthra survive 4*F in February 2021, and my somewhat less protected Engleri hasn’t so far. I am about 150 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. They Love heat humidity and rain.

Slow there in Waianae, I used these pretty extensively in my 9a Florida garden and they have done very well surviving temps <20F. I think they like a good amount of water.

Yes, beautiful when young and in adolescence, but often an impenetrable messy clump when established (like a lot of clumping palms).

I don't mean to be negative but I once helped a friend tidy up his clump, we could not get to the middle to take out all of the dead fronds. It was over six feet across.

But to be fair, I don't know how many decades it took to get to that size. 

I have sprouted the seeds and given them all away with the appropriate warnings as I saw it. The seedlings have really cute/different ragged looking leaves.

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

This was mine back in 2010. Strong grower here in Southern California but I did remove it as it continued to spread out. 

Give them some space and enjoy.

This will never get "a lot" of water.  Not here on the west side.  LOL  Well some winters I might get 10 inches a month, but probably only one month a year will get that much.  My only regret is I planted it at the edge of a bed and it's getting a bit difficult to get past and there is a 3' drop just off the 1 1/2 foot wide path.  LOL

  Here' s mine which has been in ground since 1998.  They're a tough palm which can tolerate sub zero  & very hot temperatures equally as well.

@WaianaeCrider Arenga engleri are tough, and great for barriers, kinda like big, scowling mokes standing at the front gate, arms crossed. . . .

 

I have a line of them at the western edge of my place and they block the view the World's Ugliest Roof quite effectively.

They really appreciate a lot of water, but they'll also survive drought, almost like Chamadorea radicalis, the Mexican Moke Palm . . . .

They do need their maintenance, or a home where looks are less important. Those dead leaves can make a nice barrier and mask an ugl[ier] view.

Your engleri hasn't died? If so, wow.

Your palm can be dug and moved. I dug and moved one about 10 years ago, and it was about half again the size of yours. It's heavy, but with care, a doable move. Extra water and a bit of fert help, plus shielding from too much wind till it reestablishes.

Very nice specimen! How long did yours take to get to this size? What was the top width on this one prior to removal?
