Syagrus romanzoffiana & syagrus romanzoffiana santa catarina

[MikeC]

I bought the Caterina.

Just bought it

Is there a physical difference between them at all that you can notice, do the santa catarina grow a thicker trunk ?

As young plants they don't look any different, but when mature the 'Santa Catarina' queens look bigger & stockier, with thicker & deeper green fronds. Well from the pictures I have seen anyway...

As for the regular queen palms. Probably best to wait until the spring as the nurseries will be getting their new stock in then. Quite a few stock them (or usually do) & I know Amulree are getting some in...

Nice palm MikeC! I am really very very fond of these, so elegant.

I have reserved Christians (he posted a topic in the swaps forum) Syagrus seedling and I can't wait!

I'm going to take some new photos as they've grown loads since those photos were taken earlier in the year. Stay tuned.

I look forward to it!

Were they palmate when you got them? I think I see a couple of seed leaves.

There is a S.roman. santa caterina planted out at a hotel in Brissago, southern Switzerland since spring.
They have lows to max. -4°C.

arghhh looking at that fills me with jealousy

Here's my two santa caterinas, in pots close to the house wall.

Not protected them so far this year.

Difficult to photograph them as the leaves are very long.
