Cultivation Conditions

Light Requirements

Chambeyronia macrocarpa 'Hookeri' thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but may require protection from the harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burn. Ideal locations include filtered light conditions or under the canopy of taller trees.

Temperature Preferences

This palm prefers warm, tropical climates with temperatures ranging from 20-30 °C (68-86 °F). It is sensitive to frost and should be protected from temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F). In cooler climates, it is best grown in a container that can be moved indoors or to a sheltered area during winter.

Soil Requirements

The Hooker's Red Palm prefers well-draining, rich soil with good organic content. A mix of loam, sand, and compost is ideal. It can adapt to various soil types but performs best in slightly acidic to neutral conditions. Proper drainage is essential to avoid root rot.

Water Management

Regular watering is crucial, especially during the growing season. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency in the winter or cooler periods when growth slows.

Planting and Care

Planting Location

Choose a location with bright, indirect light or partial shade. Ensure the soil is well-draining and enriched with organic matter. If planting in a container, select a pot with adequate drainage holes and use a well-draining potting mix.

Fertilization Program

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for palms or general-purpose plants every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. This supports healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Reduce fertilization during winter.

Maintenance and Pruning

Regularly prune dead or damaged fronds to maintain a tidy appearance and promote new growth. Chambeyronia macrocarpa 'Hookeri' is generally resistant to pests and diseases but should be monitored for common issues such as scale insects or spider mites and treated as needed.

Growing from Seeds

Seed Preparation

For best results, use fresh seeds. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours to help soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.

Sowing Process

Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and sand. Plant the seeds about 1-2 cm (0.5-1 inch) deep.

Germination Conditions

Keep the seed tray in a warm, humid environment with temperatures around 25-30 °C (77-86 °F). Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. Germination can take several weeks to a few months, so patience is essential.

Seedling Care

Once seedlings emerge, provide them with bright, indirect light and keep the soil consistently moist. Gradually acclimate them to more direct light as they grow. Transplant seedlings into larger pots or directly into the garden when they are large enough to handle.

Spectacular Albeit Unknown History of Race Relations
Format: Hardcover
This is a great piece of historiography about something few know about at all --- slavery in New York City in the 18th century. How about a slave "rebellion" in New York City, how about more people burned at the stake than in the Salem witchcraft trials, how about dark byways and highways of old New York, barely transformed from its days as New Amsterdam, dark plots in dank places, shrill frightened tyrants overreacting with bloody retribution, burned ruins of an early African American village in Central Park? One cannot make up this stuff, it is too real so it must be history at its best. And written by one of our premier authors of history, a woman who makes our history live in The New Yorker to the acclaim of many, and yet whose best book, this one, is still too little known. If you appreciate Harry Truman's remark that the only new thing under the Sun is the history you haven't read, then this is one to curl up with and marvel at; a great way to spend a rainy day or a dark night.

Good, but not great.
Format: Paperback
Kudos to Lepore for delving into an important, little known subject, which she does better than most historians. At times, however, I think she felt the need to put every little piece of information she got into the book. It was way too long. Some good research, but she has done better. Still, worth checking out. I like to think I know American history, but I know nothing about this awful chapter.

DAMN, this is a great book!
Format: Hardcover
All history books should be this detailed, this readable, this humane. Lepore knows how to write about a horrible, nearly forgotten episode in NYC history. Unlike many historians, she steps away from overt politics or raw emotion. She knows that this subject is too serious to be shouted. It is the rare history book that is packed with facts as well as knowledge. I felt like Lepore was taking my hand and leading me through the smelly streets of lower Manhattan in 1741, like I could almost see the faces of...what were they, anyway? The victims of a horrible hoax? The demented planners of a plot to burn the city? Or something in between, where thieves can also be the keepers of ancient rites from a distant homeland, where the world is turned upside down? I could go on and on, but just buy the book!

New York Burning
Format: Paperback
. This is an important book that explores in depth what is usually only found in textbooks as a one-sentence summation: "In 1741 there was a slave uprising in New York City." Scholars will probably be happier starting with the Appendix and bibliography and then reading the book. The text is disorganized and uneven, and although this is non-fiction, the characters could have been more finely drawn. Peter Zenger's trail keeps popping up in unexpected places, often disconnected from the action the author is working on. Some sections are heavy on primary documents and period writings, others are more poetic. Yes, I do understand the parallels with the Salem Witch Trials. The Salem Witch Trials get more press today because of Arthur Miller's "Crucible." Color and religion of the participants aside, both events are stories of group think and mass hysteria, fear and anger. There is plenty of room here for a first-class film or play to be written. Read this book, learn from it. Expect to complain about it. Kim Burdick Stanton, DE

What You Didn't Know
Format: Paperback
Did you know that if you were a Catholic Priest on the streets of New York in 1747 that you'd be arrested and hung! Great book if you're interested in the times during which our founding Fathers were growing up. It'll give you a different concept on how slavery was different in NYC as opposed to in the South, and how many of the streets in NYC got there names from English magistrates. If you like history, especially of NYC, you'll love this book.
