The hardiest of the palms. They are spectacular even as quite young plants. This one was grown from seed in 1982 and is
slowly expanding. Unfortunately it has to be lifted
and planted in a pot, but palms have compact root systems and are are quite forgiving.

It has taken a long time, but I am finally ready to take it from its pot and plant it out. It hasn't grown very
significantly during the potted years but it has survived. The new situation is rather windy but there is a good
deep rich soil so it should get away with enthusiasm.

that they have chewed down to a stump.
