Palms require some patience

11 years ago

Mostly our palms are not the quickest growers of our tropical collections. Being impatient, too many people expect instant results but this simply is not in the nature of palms. Last year I had posted about my Queen Palms not growing after being potted up. Virtually did nothing last year despite the upgrade to 19 gallon tubs in July. This year, they are growing like crazy though I have done nothing special for them. So, which are you fastest and slowest growers.

Fastest---Butia capitata (grows to treelike proportions in no time)

Slowest--Sabal palmetto (minor, texana, bermudana, Louisiana, Mauritiiformis all these are faster--for me)
