Pinanga thread


realarch

Recommended Posts

This genus from tropical Asia has many nice garden palms if your climate allows. Species can be small and dainty, tall and robust, understory or canopy, and everything in between. Most exhibit mottled leaves and many have colorful crown shafts. 

Please feel free to add to this thread.

First is P. densiflora. Smallish palm, lots of mottling, and understory.

Pinanga ‘Thai mottled’, is the name that’s been attached to this small palm. Never out of control with colorful leaves, seeds, and stems. Similar to the one above, but more of an upright habit.

Pinanga caesia. Kind of a medium sized palm height wise. Nice orange crown shaft.

Pinanga coronata, ‘blunt leaf’. A perfect palm for a privacy hedge, but can be pruned to suit the look you want.

Pinanga maculata, and Pinanga insignis. P. maculata is a beautiful solitary palm with nice habit and scale. 

P. insignis is the giant of the genus and is tall and robust. Heavy, thick leaf sheaths.

The last one is Pinanga speciosa. Not a tall palm, but robust and a beautiful purple crown shaft. One of my favorites.

Pinanga caesia that have been living in pots with me here in Florida for a year. I think these are the favorites of my collection right now.

Barry, P. speciosa is a great choice, even small they are beautiful with that purple crown shaft.

Looks good Mike, this is a versatile palm.

Scott, that puppy you don’t see often. Good luck with it.

Dean, some P. caesia have intense mottling and others not so much. Yours looks healthy.

Brad, thanks man. Your garden must be really coming along.

I love pinangas, and speciosa, maculata, and caesia are some of the real stars of the genus. but don't forget the ankle biters!IMG_5425.thumb.JPG.46cc4acfbb7c73f92fae48fad13fd7c1.JPG

I should have identified them as Pinanga disticha, with two surprises tucked in. I have several in the ground behind this about 2 feet high, including a few highly colored "stained glass" individuals. These are a bullpen waiting to go under some tree ferns in a few months . . . .

I'm quite fond of the Pinanga I have around 20 so far with 8 types I think, I just missed photo'ing the electric red/pink/mauve of this Coronata flower that was there a day earlier - was much more impressive but still decent color here, also recently picked up this Thai Mottled form.

Here are a couple entries in this thread, one that I have found to be of great interest. Full palm pics have a hat for scale.

First up is Pinanga "blue seed" or "blue fruit". First, the plant, then, a pic of the blue fruit that it produced. I sowed 18 of those "blue seeds" and got 10 sprouts, now seedlings ready for potting up.

Next up is Pinanga philippinensis, with its distinctive narrow leaflets and brown on the crownshaft. these are still fairly young.

Noticed the leaf sheath had come off this P. insignis, colorful. The leaf and sheath are massive and would crush whatever it lands on.
