Tassie_Troy1971 1,062 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 Just gets better everytime i see it . The block appears to be a similar size to mine and its amazing how Bob has integrated all those palms into a rather small space . the "Pièce de résistance is the Hedyscepe canterburyana that was planted in 1978 a beautiful aged trunk with a perfectly symetrical crownshaft of arching fronds reaching up into the southern California sun . Close 2nd IMO is the Rhopalostylis sapida (chatham Islands ) and 3rd is the legendary syagrus abreojos and the amazing story behind its discovery in Baja ! Having received a quantity of seeds from Bob's Syagrus abreojos and the beer belly Rhopalostylis sapida (chatham Islands ) the Tasmanian growers ,Nomolos, Jonathan and myself hope to have a little piece of Bob's palms in our own Gardens .

BS Man about Palms 2,333 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 Great pictures Vince! You are doing fine as a "seedling". But #22 is a Hedyscepe canterburyana and #24 has a Howea belmoreana... You were right on the Chamby the first time. The "identifiable" C. houliou is the "yellow" trunked one behind the bench in post #2. Please keep posting. You have some of the best pictures of Bobs place I've seen! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim 3,265 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 Thanks for the photos of this fine garden. It's not only a wonderful collection of mature palms, it has a real sense of place. When you walk out among the palms, you know you have entered a special place; something to do with the cohesive design, the colorful details, the manicured neatness of a resort combined with the relaxed tropical vibe. I give this garden five stars: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
