The African Oil Palm - Elaeis guineensis, Where We Get Palm Oil From!

I discuss the plus and minuses of growing this particular species as well as its historical value as a landscape palm and a palm for oil production.

Thanks for the info on this palm.

I enjoy your channel very much. You are fortunate to live in "palm country". I live in Denver and have started many different palms from seeds for indoor growing, but I do take them outside in good weather. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching.

Good

Very informative I was thinking of growing some in my yard. Do you think they can grow well in Texas weather? It's usually pretty hot in the summer time

[@TheCfkingfish]

I think they are a tad too cold sensitive for pretty much all of Texas unfortunately. If you live on South Padre, you may have a chance. I would love to tell you otherwise, but any frost will burn the leaves, and a freeze will rot the bud. :(
