Yeah that was me lol. At first it was just a few of them, but the ones I tried to baby by putting in the shade did worse. They really wilt on hot summer days, but no damage.Mine are healthy, but they're the non-wavy-leaf ones. It's a bit suspicious tbh, they look like a different species. They look like E. myrcianthes, with more elongated leaves, and more silvery new growth. They had some dieback when young until I put them all in full sun, no issues since. I think they want full sun basically from the time they sprout.
Hi Nate,
You aren’t the only one that said theirs did better under full sun. https://m.facebook.com/search_results/?q=Eugenia+beaurepairiana+Wavy Also in this discussion is the information that there are 2 vars of this species, one with a wavy leaf called rugosa and a regular leaf variety.
i saw that it can handle -10 temps so i ordered the plant online for $130Where did you find this information?
Anyone growing these palms on the mainland? Interested in attempting Bactris ferruginea but have no idea if they would withstand our winters. Not a whole lot of info out there on their ability to take cold, I did find some page saying that will not take even 32F.I looked into that one a bit too. You probably found the same Palmtalk threads I did. With how passionate palm people are, I think the fact that nobody even in Florida seems to be growing it means it's probably not possible. Plus it's really spiny, and like 40 ft tall. IIRC FFF is growing Bactris setosa though, so that at last must have some cold tolerance.

thanks for sharing these epic videos
what a special place congrats to Joe and his Team makings dreams happen
Link please? I didn't see it in a search.
Houston moves to 9b despite two 8b stormsThe new maps are average annual lows for 1991-2020. IIRC those storms were more recent.
Another neat idea is to use phase change materials (pcm’s). Water barrels work like this, if the water were to freeze they release a huge amount of energy (100x what you can get from a concrete floor) they also use special salt solutions and waxes. You can really nerd out on this stuff, but you start to sound kinda weird… and eventually people don’t want to talk to you anymore, so then you just talk to your plants. I’ll shut up now.Good in theory, but if it's really 100x better, where are the real-world examples? Pneuma has experimental data showing his concrete works much better than I'd have expected, basically not needing a heater. You're saying PCMs could keep his greenhouse above 60 degrees 100x better, so what, for 1/100th the cost? Let's say it's 10 grand of concrete. What can you do with $100 worth of PCMs? Could you even do it for the same cost?
It was either 76 or 80. Also he posted in a pervipus discussion a couple weeks ago that he had 75+ varieties. Then during the giveaway he said someone was 1 number away from being correct after i had posted 75 and 81. So close but not close enought
Well, I am really in the middle of Atlantic... in an island. More closer to Europe than US.https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=48637.msg504728#msg504728
Can you (or anyone here) recomment a jaboticaba vendor operating in Europe ?
