That Palm P-P-P-Palm! - Page 2

I have two in my yard.The first one gets evening shade. And the second gets about half day shade.

I was at the hospital a couple weeks ago. There was a group planting in a shady courtyard and they looked fantastic.The petioles were twice the length of the second picture. And the leaves were much larger also.

For Chams I've got Cham. microspadix, metallica, cat and elegans planted in my front yard. Only the cat had trouble over the winter. Other palms are Sabal minor (hasn't grown enough to tell if it's Sabal minor 'Louisiana'), Phoenix rob and several majestys. The majesitys did not freeze last winter.

Plus other various tropicals.

UGH, I found the metallica at a local nursery, but the ones they have are A, all really sad looking, B, All full grown, and C, sixty dollars. Grrrrrr.

Pindo Palm, Wine Palm, Jelly Palm
Butia capitata

But butia capitata is not a small palm!!!i think you can try Chamaerops humilis(cerifera,vulcano,argentea ...)

BananaLee · 11-10-2009, 01:53 PM

Sabal Minor rarely grows a trunk overground with leaves 1-6ft wide. The lcostapalmate fan leaves tend to be smaller and more compact in full sun but get larger and do better in full shade with plentiful moisture. Sabal 'Louisiana' is faster growing than Sabal Minor and resembles a small Sabal Palmetto with a trunk up to 6ft tall. Livistona chinensis 'subglobosa' is a dwarf form of Livistona chinensis and does not from a trunk. Its costapalmate leaves are up to 5ft wide. Hope this helps! BananaLee

Bikoro child is right, Butia Capitata is not a small palm. Unless you think that 20ft is small!

I think this is the wrong one

My suggestion is , as bikoro has mention: Chamaerops humilis.
Clumping, cold hardy, with trunk...

Thats a windmill palm. If you want a palm in cold places outside all year long, this it the one to look for. Theya re cold tolerant to 15F without damage and can handle down to 5F with damage. Once established most come back from brief temps arounf 0F. They arent a fan of too much heat and humidity and look much more tropical in shade (but if you are short on room, grow it in full sun because the leaves will not spread out as much). Because they dont take up much space they also make good indoor palms especially for people with high celings.

As for palms inside I like the parlor palm alot. Mine gets no direct sun and still makes seed every year. They stay small and eventually get a nice trunk on it.

Also butterfly palms make great indoor palms and lady palms are one of my favorates (but you will probably have to spend over 400 dollars to get one because they grow SO SLOW!!!!)

Good luck!
