Parajubaea cocoides Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a sunny sheltered position in a well-drained soil but with plenty of water in the growing season[196]. Plants probably require a cool summer and quickly lose vigour in areas where night temperatures do not fall below 13°c[196]. Plants experience sub-zero temperatures in their native range and it should therefore be possible to grow them in warm temperate zones that only experience occasional light frosts[200]. They will possibly succeed in the milder areas of Cornwall[231]. This species has a deep penetrating root systems and generally establishes best when planted out at a young stage. It is not suitable for container cultivation[231]. Older plants are substantially more cold tolerant than juvenile plants[231], so if the plants can be protected from frosts in their earlier years it might be possible to grow them in areas at the limit of their cold tolerance. Plants are relatively fast-growing for a palm and can produce fruit in 4 years from seed[196]. Trees are deep rooted[196]. For further Parajubaea cocoides gardening information |
