| Positive | Code3 | On Jun 13, 2012, Code3 from Huntington Beach, CA wrote: I love the way this Coccothrinax looks. My favorite but very slow in California. Tends to do better in part shade for me along the coast in 10a. |

There are three distinct variations of the species: var. miraguama, var. havanensis, and var. roseocarpa. The completely round, flat stiff leaflet is its most appreciative characteristic in my opinion. Also, let it be known that Coccothrinax scoparia and miraguama are two separate species - scoparia has noticably thinner pinnae. |

| Positive | palmbob | On May 1, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: This Coccothrinax has the best looking leaves on the genus- the form a complete circle- the leaf is partially divided and very stiff, with each leaflet an inverted V shape on cross section. The stem is only 6" in diameter but up to 40' tall. This Cuban native is supposedly frost sensitive, but I have had the best luck with this species in zone 9b than just about any other. It is very slow in southern California is a much better palm for Florida and tropical climates... too bad. |
