Culture

The cohune palm grows best in a sheltered warm spot in a subtropical setting, or in hot and humid tropical environments. Cohune palm is a slow grower until its trunk emerges above ground, and then more rapid growth occurs. Established cohune palms are considered gross feeders and respond very well to the use of palm and nitrogenous fertilizer. The growth rate of the cohune palm can be increased significantly with regular fertilizer applications. Cohune palm is considered very disease and pest resistant. Light: The cohune palm grows well in full sun. Even small, young cohune palms can tolerate full sun. Cohune palm is considered an outdoor palm. Moisture: The cohune palm grows well in moist, sandy soils with good drainage. Hardiness: USDA Zones 9 - 12. The cohune palm is believed to be the hardiest palm in the genus Attalea. Juvenile palms are uniquely protected from frosts, because the trunk remains underground for many years. Mature and established plants have been reported to tolerate temperatures down to 23ºF (-5 ºC), losing 10%-100% of their foliage but recovering during warmer months. Cohune palms have not recovered after being subjected to temperatures of 22 ºF (-5.6 ºC) for extended time periods. Propagation: The cohune palm propagates by seeds. Each cohune fruit may contain 1-3 seeds. Light: Full Sun, Soil: Consistently Moist, Fast Draining Soil, Watering: Frequent, Min. Temp: -5°C (23°F) Tolerances: Full Sun, Wind, High Humidity, Germination: 1-6 Months, 25-30°C (77-86°F).
