Fastest Growing Jubaea Chilensis and Other Stuff
Got this little guy back about May this year. And a pic from today. Man has he put on some shoulders in just 8 months. Gotta be the fastest jubaea on the planet. j/k

Okay now I am sure I have your attention. The little guy died for unknown reason (I believe a combo of a few things)less than a month after I got it. I got its big brother this weekend mail order. Hard to tell but its a 5 gallon. Coke can for scale. Here are some palms I've bought over the past month. From l to r J. Chilensis, T. Ukhrulensis, R. Hystrix, and T. Nanus and one Savanna cat who volunteered for scale.

I know they ain't much to look at now - a little rough for the ware and a couple of them are little leggy than I normally like but I think they'll look a lot better by the end of this coming summer. The new emerging leaf of the nanus has some blueish coloration on the back of the frond! I will install the needle in the ground come spring. The jubaea and ukhrulensis will remain in thier pots for at least another year to gain some size. Not sure about the fate of the nanus. Thanks for looking.

Nice to see a Jubaea that is more than 3 inches tall
Knew you were kidding as they're not known for speed.
Nice sized specimens.

Nice job! I especially like the Savannah cat too
Too bad your seedling died. I've been entertaining the idea of getting a Jubaea and planting it outside for a while. (and I know a few are grown outside at the University of Washington)
Maybe I should just get a job down south so I can grow hundreds of different species outside...It's not like I have to stay in the PNW forever!

Nice plants that should grow well in your region. There is considered opinion that Trachycarpus Manipur (Ukhurlensis) is reasonably hardy.I have two and will plant one out next year confident that it will survive

Although mine has started to trunk, it still has the juvenile type leaves. They get much bigger as the plant grows especially in our hot summers we get hereearthworm73 wrote:Andy do you have a picture of yours to post?andym wrote:Nice plants that should grow well in your region.
