I can't believe that I haven't done a post on this magnificent specimen yet. It must have somehow fallen between the cracks....It happens. The good part is that it is here now... The Ptychosperma waitianum Palm Tree. I haven't been able to find much information on this Palm Tree but I have seen it called the Giant Palm Tree, Ivory Coast Palm Tree, and the Raffia Palm Tree. I found that it grows to about 15' feet tall in full sun and should be planted 15'-20' feet apart. The Ptychosperma waitianum is often confused with the Ptychosperma burretianum which is a clustering form where as the P. waitianum is solitary or single trunking. If you have any information on this Palm Tree I would love to know what you know.
Back in January 2008 I received some seeds in the mail. I began germination on January 23, 2008 to be exact. I saw 2 sprouts on March 17, 2008. Only one survived. I have been babying this little guy for almost a year now and it is only about 5 inches tall.
The following picture is of the seeds which are located in the lower left corner.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures, and if you have any information on this Palm Tree please let me know. Thank you very much. See you again next time!

It has been a while since I last posted on my Crocodile Fern ( Microsorum musifolium ). Since my last post, which you can read by clicking here, I have re-potted and hung the pot from a branch of my Star Fruit Tree ( Averrhoa Carambola ). To read about my Star Fruit Tree click here. My Crocodile Fern is very happy here and is doing great. Here are some pictures of my Fern.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. See again next time!
