Thank you very much for the advise! :) How tall can crotons grow? Can they grow to be small tree,like 4-5m height and 2 width? How much cold can the variety i have take without damage? What are some other relatively similar looking varieties,maybe more spectacularly colored,that are cold...

Thank you very much Moose!:) Great to know! How can these be told apart? How tall can they grow if left unpruned? Why are many of the leafs on my plant stunted like and not like the nice big one shown at the lower part of the last photo? How should i grow it for it to produce beautiful leafs...

Its great to hear that from you Dean!:) I will go with Loxococcus rupicola and Borassodendron borneense for today...

Mine flyed through last years -2C freezes as very young seedlings without any damage at all...I think they should be about as hardy as Parajubaea cocoides which would make them viable for your area i think? Lets test them to harder freezes than -2C next year...I think till -4C they should be...

I think No1 is Loxococcus rupicola and No2 Licuala ramsayi...

Wow,well done Frito!!!:) Looking forward to the next contest!

I think the first palm is a Burretiokentia hapala and the second a Livistona rotundifolia...
