Chamerops vulcano.

Post by karl66 »

I have loads of different size hummilis, cerifica etc but my one vulcano does not seem to like the wet weather!, its got about 25cm of trunk & healthy fronds but some of the new spears emerging look really tatty, how are yours getting on?, this one is planted out in full sun. karl.

Mine of the same size is like that too, the new leaves are smaller and tatty. Winter 2010 didn't agree with it at all !! The wet doesn't help but I think it's frost damage growing out. :(

As I understand they're not as hardy as Humilis or Cerifa

No problems here in Southampton.

The one in my front garden is still growing okay and so far all the others that I know of that are scattered around the City.

I think mine has grown about 6 new leaves so far this year.
