Slightly off topic I know, but I would like to get as wide a range of
opinion as possible so please excuse this.
I have several new palms due to arrive shortly, amongst them Licuala
grandis, L. spinosa and Roystonea borinquena. Have any members here
any experience of growing them? I'm particularly interested in
minimum winter temperatures tolerated together with acceptable minimum
growing temperatures in summer. I believe that Licuala grandis needs
warm, humid 'tropical' conditions, but I understand that this may not
necessarily be so with L. spinosa. As far as the Roystonea is
concerned, I cannot find any useful information about this particular
species.
