Jubaea chilensis 2017, 1st review

Jubaea chilensis, took -15ºC which is +5ºF for about 7 hours, and now in the last days it´s been -8ºC at nights and dropping as lov as -10ºC, with no protection, an amazingly hardy pinnate palm.

It should be the mega coconut palm not mini. It’s the biggest trunk of all the palms

WesleyAPEX , Jubaea chilensis produces mini coconuts not mega coconuts. I was not referring to the size of the palm but rather the the size of the coconuts 🥥

Great video and review! Are they still alive today?

[@edialbert8035]

Unfortunately they didn't make it. Last year I planted a bit larger ones in the same spot and a large one with around 1.65m of trunk. Hopefully this coming month I can finish up some new content.
