Default Re: What grows in my garden

Well, beautiful Marcel, really nice. That link you included however didn't really say, how hardy those palms are. Do you any guess? It's one of those hybrids that you like so much. Anything that gives you enough joy.
I'm more into Jubaea and other clean palms. First there needs to be a strong, better adapted European line (Butias, Jubaeas), that would like our wet and frosty winters more (it means palms fruiting in our conditions, grown here from the smallest seedlings).

I've paid close attention to the Raja Puri you gave me and it didn't seem to stop growing for a second. Now it has very intense coloring.
If I consider, that it's been here for three months (aka 11 weeks), I would say that the total number of 12 leaves since it came is not that bad, considering the shape it came in.
It also took a lot of time til that leaf unfurled, but it's OK now.
It will be fruiting any year now.
