I tell people to treat theirs and sometime they still die. Some companies have it more dialed in than others. I have heard of it killing dactylifera on rare occasion but have not seen it personally. I have seen 1000's of dead canaries all over San Diego. Other than canary the next most common to get hit from my research and talking to collectors is the Jubaea chilensis, bismarckia nobilis, prithardias, sabals, and parajubaea. One person I know recently lost a dypsis decaryi. The only ones I have seen in person other than canary are Bismarcks and jubaeas.
Gary. I like your Royal suggestion. They are moderately fast growers. Here's my suggestion to replace all CIDP's in all of Commiefornia: Beccariophoenix Alfredii
I'm in tropical Australia and the Roystonea oleracea is the fastest growing palm I've ever tried. It absolutely loves water when its warm, and a regular feed. I prefer this over the Cuban Royal for 2 reasons. 1. It has a very nice frond with wide leaflets, so its crown is larger in diameter and "fuller" looking. 2. Cubans suffering drought get ugly constrictions in the diameter of the trunk, but R. oleracea maintains a regular trunk diameter regardless of dry periods. They truly look like giant columns of marble. One suggestion for replacing Canary Island Palm is Beccariophoenix affredi, from Madagascar. Some call it Forest Coconut or Highland Coconut, it is distantly related to coconuts, but seeds are maybe 1 cm diameter. It can be fast with plenty of water and probably more cold tolerant than Royal's. The crown is very wide, i have to cut old fronds with a chainsaw as they are hard and thick, but as it grows it becomes self cleaning. Weevil tolerance....... no idea.
I’ve yet to see a really large Beccariophoenix, but I am growing lots of them and they are eight or 9 feet tall in 25 gallon containers right now and I have high hopes for them as well Thanks for sharing that wonderful information.
Man you should visit Galveston Texas ….. you would cry at the amount of gigantic Canary Island date palms that are 100-60+ years old and they are dying left and right too but from lethal bronzing…. 😢
In spain and the whole meditteranean the same with the red palm weevils.. noce video👍🏽

Maybe you should be Golden State Palms- that would apply everywhere.
Those palms are quite nice

These palms must have evolved in tall, fairly dense forest environments, no? Why else would they reach so high with only solar collection at the top?
I see so many canary palms in my area in San Diego.. really sad.
...Thus Spake Chupacabra.
I found maggot like insects in my triangle palm , did not look like weevils, dead
I know someone who lost a triangle to the weevil. The grubs are like large maggots and that is what kills the palm.
