Happy Thanksgiving. I’d say your 2 seasons away from getting coconuts in the Fiji. My Fiji has been a champ in our central Florida climate so far. Malayan dwarves on the other hand never do the best in cold temps.
This is one palm that I have to travel to see and appreciate. Too fast and too tender for even my greenhouse- out of the question for outdoor culture even with massive protection. I have tried small ones, with no luck. It is the epitome of a palm tree though - will grow it vicariously through the internet and vacation photos
Thank you so much to make me confusion-free to identify coconut plants varieties.😊 I tried a lot to know about recognising difference of tall and dwarf varieties, buy still unable to identify. 😢 Would you please explain in short!!?
@plantking1655 I'd say probably not average daytime highs drop off a lot in north Florida even in the 9b areas high temps can be 10 to 20 deg colder than where you are during the day. So very low soil temps.
@billy3011 i did see on palmtalk someone grew one in Jacksonville for a few years it got big but they protected it yearly, I'd say if you do try do it under canopy for frost protection and have a protection plan in place for it
