Parajubaea Torallyi ssp Torallyi.
Re: Parajubaea Torallyi ssp Torallyi.
All palms are slow at stage where they put out strap leaves. When they start to put out mature leaves they start to speed up a bit. This is a Jubaeaesque palm and it is going to get ENORMOUS , at which point it would grow pretty quickly even in our climate.

Here are a couple of photo's taken at the end of November just before I moved out to MaltaRod wrote:Hi Nathan - would like to see a photo update on your Parajubaea's now that they are growing well.Nathan wrote:Mine have grown faster this year due to the hot summer, they are currently pushing out their 4th leaves of the year

Nice palm. Have you left it in the UK, or taken it to Malta.

Taking palms from the UK to Malta would be like carrying coals to Newcastle.
Re: Parajubaea Torallyi ssp Torallyi.
Yes & no. There are tons of palms in Malta, but pretty much all are Washingtonia robusta & filifera, Phoenix dactylifera & canariensis, Chamaerops humilis & Syagrus romanzoffiana. You do see the odd other type about, such as Phoenix roebelinii, Sabal's, Livistona chinensis or Howea forsteriana, but for the most part it's Washies & date palms...otorongo wrote:Taking palms from the UK to Malta would be like carrying coals to Newcastle.
So I have actually brought a few palms out with me, which are rare out here, such as Jubutyagrus, Butyagrus, Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, Rhopalostylis bauerii & my seed grown Cocos nucifera
Re: Parajubaea Torallyi ssp Torallyi.
Even if they're rare in Malta, they should grow much quicker down there!

Is Malta that little Island in the middle of the Mediterranean? and if so "Why on earth did you move there" ( Just curious )

So then Nathan, you're finally in the land of the endless wind and pot holes! It's about time for a picture show
Re: Parajubaea Torallyi ssp Torallyi.
Yes, tiny little island south of Sicily... We moved here as my partner is half Maltese & has lots of family here, we were both fed up of the UK (not just the weather) so decided to try out living here. The bonus being that it has one of the warmest climates in Europe, has very close ties to the UK still (is still part of the Commonwealth despite being a republic) & English is the second offical language, plus it is just under 3 hours flight the UKRod wrote: Thanks Nathan for those photos,

Re: Parajubaea Torallyi ssp Torallyi.
The Coconut is just an experiment really & I only brought it with me as I grew it myself. I don't know of any growing here but I believe there used to be one growing at the Botanical Garden at Palermo on Sicily. The things that do grow in Malta are quite surprising though, with many truly tropical plants/trees growing here just fine, so you never know...Rod wrote:Awesome Nathan - I would say you are hot enough to grow Cocos Nucifera ???? - Are there any growing in Malta ?
