Pinanga maculata

[realarch]

These palms have matured into nice looking specimens since planting back in 2009 & 2010. Being in full sun, they burned for many years, but now have seemed to adapted to their exposure. Inexplicably, I’ve never gotten viable seed off of either of them.

They are rather elegant mid sized Pinanga.

Those are fabulous, Tim. I think I have one maculata seedling that survived Ian and winter. I can only dream it will look like yours.

Thank you Meg! I will definitely send positive maculata vibes your way.

Nice work Tim.

Nice contrast on this species between the deep dark green leaflets and that colorful swollen crownshaft.  A very attractive palm Tim.  Hopefully Brad's performs as well in the coming years down in HPP for him as yours have.

Gorgeous. Very nice.

I don't agree with Palmpedia, calling it z10a. Likely z11a considering the once-a-decade drop to 35°.

Did yours carry the red colouration when small?

There are really good growers for me. I have been told many times that they need to be planted in groups to ensure seed so I had to add one in at a later time but even when planted in multiple they still produce few seed. Such a colorful palm

Sean, they have always been colorful.

Several years ago, I started looking at some potted palms in my shade house. I had grouped together some that had grown woody stems several feet high with tiny crowns of leaves not more than 3 or 4 inches long. One had a still readable label that said Pinanga maculata. Another one with an unreadable label looked similar. I had recently heard from someone that this was a very attractive species, so I found a place to plant them out (May 2020). That was what they needed, as evidenced in the pic below. They are in scattered light with some tall palms around them, but no other shade.
