This is for Jesse, but more broadly as an attempt to get y'all to try Chameadorea radicalis. I think it is a pretty little palm and likely the toughest of the genus. Most of the genus need shade, but my three get nearly full sun and intense heat. I plant Musa and pot-plant palms nearby to try to give them some shade. They definitely need serious winter protection for all of us. Their advantage is having no real trunk, much like Sabal minor. This lets them recover in spring even if they are defoliated. My three were defoliated, but all three are growing now. The best is sending up a flower spike (photo). The worse affected by cold (a bit visible on extreme right of photo) is putting out a good-looking leaf now. <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/2Lov9pRQ1-BjtZ2cahV5Uw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gfFG12F_hFU/Tg3w3RWgbiI/AAAAAAAAJ10/hn_3aUygwD8/s800/DSC_0061.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/terdalfarm/JulyNikonTest?authuser=0&feat=embedwebsite">July Nikon test</a></td></tr></table>
