Few Palms from the Yard

16 years ago

Went about with my camera today since was a nice, rare cloudy day (better for shots) just to update my journal on how things were looking. Won't label them until later. Try to guess what they are (most are young, so will be a bit of a challenge).

Australian plant

South American palm

Native American palm

Madagascan

Not a Sago Palm

Pretty rare species of a genus with two other much more common species

Large cycad

OK, this is not a palm, but what is it?

Australian palm that is pretty rarely grown (not sure why)

AFrican native

Sort by:Oldest

The non-palm, non-cycad is an Australian tree if that helps (not a redwood)

Wow... pretty good ... 100%. Very surprised you got the Trithrinax right. I don't know anyone else who has one. Wollemia pines are actually pretty commonly available now here in So Cal... there is a grower in Bonsall who has hundreds of them about this size for under $100. Mine I got from the National Geo society for over $100 years ago about 2" tall.. what a rip! But it's doing well so I guess I can't complain. About 5' tall now. Amazed you got the Livistona alfredii right, too.. that is another one I know of only a few around. not sure I could id one if I didn't have one myself. Anyway, good joB!!

DAMN! Beat me to it. I KNEW that the non palm, non cycad was a Wollemia pine!!!! There are a couple here at the U.S. National Botanic Gardens. I would recognise those things anywhere. Arent they gravely endangered? The ones here were under glass, but now they have them kind of out in the semi open.

As I mentioned,I saw a picture of one on EPS (pretty sure it was growing in Kew)
and they actually(seriously)has bars around it,like someone would steal it!

Maybe someone tried too!

Re Wollemi Palm -you need good contacts but not necessarily with God - - though I'm sure prayer helps.

Here is a link that might be useful: Wollemi Pine US sales
