I am down on one of the islands at IloIlo. Pretty much as you would expect,  the most common here are  Adonidia merrelii and Cocos nucifera, with Coryphas the stand out fan palm,  and they are big monsters.

They are also starting to plant a few Biz .

Does anyone know where to see palms around Manila ?  I have 1 day there .

With such a short notice, any way of locating IPS members in this country? You would need the directory. At least try to stop by some of the local nurseries.

Just got back from Honolulu, they have tons of what they call Manilla Palms, Merreli's. I could not resist and picked up a nice 2 gallon at the Swap Meet. i sent it back to California and it is hating life. My last chance is to take it to work and hope there is enough lite and humidity there.

Chris and others - yeah Adonidias are very common palms pretty much all over Hawaii.  I haven't planted any just because they are seen wherever one goes around here.  Definitely a nice small attractive palm.

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!
