I like this pinanga alot. The black stems are really eye-catching. I have been selling these for years now, but I'm down to my last 3 plants. These are going to my yard. :)  I'm still waiting for seed.

Hi Jeff

The largest one has been in the garden for 5 years. It is a nice one in the genre.

Does any one know how long before they seed?

Hello Colin,

    My plants are about 5 years old now. A few that I have been selling were starting to set their first flowers. So their close to maturity.

Faith Bishock has a beautiful P. gracilis, first seeing it a few years ago really made me appreciate and discover the genus.

I did not see your data in the Freeze section -- did yours see just low 30'sF / around 0C or did you get colder?

I've presumed this genus to be cold hardy for San Diego but not colder.

You are lucky. I lost a large Pinanga coronata from the freeze. I talked to a few other palm growers and they lost their Pinanga's too. I hit 28%.

But alas! Have no fear. A Pinanga philippinensis and a P. heterophylla will find there way into my garden in spring. But in a VERY well protected spot.

This one is surviving in Northern parts of New Zealand.

A cautionary tale... I bought a large specimen with 6 healthy stems.  I divided each with a  saw cut and left them in the pot for a little over 3 months...Each separated with good individual root sytems and all looked like they were going to survive...I lost all six.

If I had my time with them again I think I would still have tried the division but would not have tried separating them for at least 18 months...

cheers...Malcolm

Same happened to me with Euterpe edulis a few years back. My time over I would have planted as is, all 5 plants together from the one pot. Maybe pot plant them too.

Happy Gardening

I want to get my hands on any Pinanga that will grow in my area. P gracilis is one of them. P javana is another and even caesia which Mike in Port Macquarie has growing, and even grows in Sydney BG's. I've got P coronata going mental here and haven't even killed one. I've also got dicksonii germinating and plan to have a few specimens in the garden in a few years.

Thanks for the pics.

p.phillipinensis & p.javana die in the garden, tried several times, i think they need a bigger temperature range than the garden has, the pinanga gracilis is much cold hardier than those
