That's wonderful news, and it reminds me that my foxtails new growth has slowed to a crawl for almost a year now. That one goes out for the summer and usually gets several new fronds every summer, but with perhaps having only one warm month here this past summer, it was only just beginning to get one new frond , when it was moved back indoors to warmer surroundings, and quickly began to grow the new frond, but after a month of falling indoor temperatures and very much lower light , that frond's growth has ground to a halt. I guess it's a real achievement getting any new fronds on our palms during the late fall and into winter, as those sunny bright days have been at such a premium til recently here!! Hope you see many more new fronds through the witner Andy! I do add however, the triangle one is already getting a second new frond , which in a way seems a bit surprising, since that one usually grinds to a halt in the witner. I guess they do have minds of their own regarding when they'll choose to grow sometimes!! I'm still debating whether to add yet another gro-lite near the foxtail to encourage that reluctant growth , but my electric bill is already staggering this winter, and I hate to send it up much more , though a lite might add twenty dollars to a month's bill perhaps!!

Bird-
Is it possible the foxtail is rootbound. I find palms really slow down whe they are rootbound. I got three fronds out of my coconut last summer.

Andy..
Thats a good looking coco
congrats..

Topher-
Thank you, it's pretty special to me. I first found this forum by googleing "could I grow a coconut indoors?". 9 out of 10 responces to the thread were an emphaitic NO. This coconut may not grow as fast as ones in the ground in Florida or Hawaii but it is in EXCELLENT health. Just today it was soaking up sun and 75 degrees. Some day it will be planted in Florida or Hawaii and with some luck I'll be planted there also.

you know i don't understand people who put us down for trying to grow palms .. People in tropical areas just don't understand how lucky they are to grow these ! we have to work our tail off to get them to grow and get criticised for it They just take it for granted
A palm to them is like a pine to us
if they lived where we did for the winter they would appreciate palm trees more... just my opinion : )

Topher-
I agree that some take it for granted. I also think that there are some northern palm growers that convince themselves that they can't grow a certain palm. When you have a palm in a pot and it is still a manageable size I believe you can grow anything. A coconut is a zone 10b-11 palm. zone 11 being as I recall "an average lowest temperature of about the low 40s". This coconut has NEVER been outside where the low has fallen below about 48. Meaning I have kept this palm in a zone 11 climate since I got it. I have to say that I have come accross many members of the forum who are from zone 9-11 areas who have given me great advice and always encouraged me. To them I say thank you!

Oh yeah there are some great people here and i did not mean anything to them at all.
they realy do give great advise...
