Very nice gardens! Looks like that Jubaea is just starting to trunk.

In 2010 the IPS will host their biennial in Brazil, any chance of the Fous des Palmiers joining the fun? It's already an international group, but I notice none of this year's attendees in Costa Rica were from France.

Hello Wal,

We were 65 "fous de palmiers" at the meeting

More pictures at:

65 ? well done, puts us to shame here in Brisbane. Am I dreaming or is it true that where palms grow easily, the society membership is low and where it is difficult, the membership is high.

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

Wal

Wal,

Not true. HIPS (Hawaii Island Palm Society) has just over 200 members. And the overwhelming majority, maybe 80% or so, live on the Big Island, which has a population of about 170,000. PSSC in SoCal, as comparison, has around 600-700 members I believe. And there are at least 10 million people there!

That's right Kim, I don't think any fou de palmiers went to Costa Rica, that's a pity.

In 2002 the IPS biennal took place in France, but as it was in septembre I could not join the group.

I would love to go to Brazil in 2010, the land of so many interesting hardy palms!!!

Thank you for the incredible Tour. It is absolutely amazing what you are growing at Latitudes near 50 degrees. It blows US away.
