I picked up another David Fairchild book on eBay entitled "Garden Islands of the Great East", my third by him, and saw this picture in the book which reminded me of this topic.  The book was published in 1943.  Here is one of the palms they ran across during those travels.  I wonder if that palm still exists or has fallen to the hand of nature, or of man, aka development.

Dear Gilbert  :)

thanks for visiting and keying in your comments,we could call those talipot fan palms as the emperor of the fan palms..to see them live in those gardens was like a dream come true for me...i will certainly squeeze those corypha's in our home garden_that's for shure..no matter even if it blocks the front elevation of our house !

thanks & love,

Kris  :)

Dear redant  :)

i agree that they appear as a normal fan palm on steroids but the leaves look very close to livistonia type than the sabal in their colouration and its rigidity...

thanks for visiting & writing your comments...

Lots of love,

Kris  :)

Great pics Kris. C.umbraculifera is certainly king of the Corypha's. Can the sealing wax be grown in Bangalore. I went to Maduari (spelling) in Tamil Nadu many years back and remember seeing many Borassus and the odd Corypha. Then went up the Nilligris( again spelling) Hills and saw Caryota Urens and betel nut plantations. It was great.

Thank you for the postings

Dear Brod Northwood  :)

thanks and yes the talipot palms are really king amoung the fan palms,and if you go to banglore you must see them...this just reattriated my desire to grow then in our house garden..inspite i do not have much needed space..

And in banglore nurseries do sell them(red stem palm) but i have never seen them grown in any of houses or parks their ! :(

i suppose you have visited most of Tamil Nadu,and have you see the borassus big form,in coastal regions..they put out big fruits & the trunk is a bit heavy than the regulars ones..

but the sealing wax palms grow great in our chennai climate and i have one clump growing in our house too.. :)

lots of love,

Kris  :)

love conquers all..

Dear Christian Niebla  :)

iam very happy that you enjoyed it..since whenever i see beautiful things around..i often feel that it has to be seen by my buddies..thanks to techonology(Camera)..since what i saw there i could capture it for you all to see & enjoy !  :)

And i have 3 Talipot palms,one saplings was purschased and the other 2 were raised from the seeds from rps.

all the three are growing like crazy and love our south indian coastal climate ! check my other palm maintanence post to see them..

i suppose in just 12 to 16 years i think it will put a trunk in the given climatic condition.since we are more warmer than banglore(Lal Bagh)...

love,

Kris  :)

Kris,

I know Norm. He lives in Kailua and had a huge Corypha in his yard until it flowered, seeded, and died. I've enjoyed a few cold beers with him a few years ago.

Kris,

I have a friend who just returned from India. He was trying to describe a palm there. The Corypha was not it, but his jaw dropped when he saw this picture.

So, thanks again for sharing.

The palm looks very interesting and I would like to add this on to our collection of palms at garfield park Conservatory here in Chicago. I can not recollect whether I have seen this while on collection tours in 1969, 70 71.Any way currently am a manager for about 6 display housesincluding palm house, fern house, aroid house, desert house, childrens garden and a sugar from the sun exhibit. All these houses are in about 2 acres of land covered by glass and climatically controlled for round the yearb display to public.

I'm absolutely in awe of Coryphas, such incredible palms and I never tire of seeing pictures of them. It's a shame that some of those seen in this post look very constrained by the dense canopy of the trees above them, I'd hack down those evil trees and let the Coryphas shine!

More pics please!!
