Ptychosperma macarthurii palms getting established

Pitta:

Since I'm such a palm nut...I love this palm! : > )

I like them as well . The birds like the fruits . I have 2 other adult ones.

Pitta:

I know they're native to your area...so they must
grow extremely well there. Here they're pretty
slow growing...and only grow to about 18 feet/ 5.5
meters tall.

Ptychosperma elegans -Solitaire Palm grows
much faster and taller here in San Diego, CA.

I have several alexandrea palms also they grow everywhere here,

Pitta:

Archontophoenix cunninghamiana and alexandre are
very widely grown and very popular trees here. Large
trees are also really inexpensive.

I have posted several pics with Alexander and King Palms.
They're one of my favorite palms trees besides Roystonea
regia - Royal Palm.

My son went to a rainforest stream years ago , he found literally hundreds of tiny palms grownig there under the Alexander palms at the waters edge he scooped uo one handful of the tiny palms , each palm had 2 tiny leaves.He potted up 37 palms in tubes . I have 8 growing from those tiny beginnings and they are now 35 ft high .The rest were given away to anyone who wanted some.

Pitta:

Yes, it's very typical for Archontonphoenix to have
hundreds of seedlings under an adult tree. I see it
here all the time. It's too bad they have to mow down
or pull out all the seedlings under these adult trees. : > (

If they all grew there would not be room for other species

Pitta:

Statistically several would naturally die...however,
you're correct! : > )
