Mine hasn’t had any cold damage and it’s been through two winters since I have planted it.

Nice palm that’s good news about the cold weather I had read it was cold hardy so confirmation from you is reassuring thanks

You are welcome. I also have L centralis that is doing equally well.

I had a L magalonii that was going strong for years here in Melbourne. Very slow, but had it 6 years from a tiny strap leaf seedling to just starting to split fronds. It declined suddenly a couple of months ago after a couple of hail storm, I think water must’ve been pouring into the crown and just overwhelmed it because it rotted out so quickly. I’ll try again one day.

I will have to try and get a centralis another one for the collection

Hi Tim the hail might have been just the freeze that sent it over the edge it gets annoying when that happens a palm just suddenly dies for no apparent reason I have a carpoxylon doing the same thing right now dying for some reason beyond my knowledge it’s planted in the ground so who knows what the problem is lucky I have some more to replace it
