Wow!
Your palms are getting big. Its really looks like a jungle. Im very impressive about your habilities to grow dypsis lanceolata, ravenea rivilaris and hyophorbe indica in that place. I live in a place with a similar climate, like New Zealand and i have never saw palms like yours in a cool climate.

 

congrats!

Howea forsteriana new area planted in late 2018. I managed to save the big one from a friends garden who didn’t want it. Transplanted in May 2019.

I will extend this area with heaps more Howea in time. This originally was a kikuyu infested mess that was too scary to venture into due to snakes. Then I tamed it and made it part of the sheep paddock. Since then I’ve reclaimed it for more garden.

Not a palm but it will provide a canopy for many palms in the future. Ficus macrophylla var columnaris. The Lord Howe Island banyan tree. It will get seriously massive. I love the colour these things get.

Thats where I will end tonight. I hope you enjoyed the journey.

Thanks. Archontophoenix vary depending on which part of the country their genetics come from. The A cunninghamiana are from the Mt Tambourine area in SE QLD (not far from Daryl's place). The A alexandrae are mostly from the Eungella region around 80kms inland from Mackay. This area was decimated by bushfires in 2018 and I'm not sure how much of the rainforest is left there. These alexandrae love opening up bronze to orange new leaves. That area never dries out and I give them good amounts of nutrients and organic material through the year, so they have really responded well. I can't wait for them to get some big bulky trunks forming.

Of the ones I have the tuckeri are the nicest and seem to do well in the ground but are a pain in the butt in pots. Other kings seem so easy in pots.

Thanks. Yes the shadehouse will provide the new additions to the garden over time.

Ive got many Rhopalostylis sapida in there that need to go into individual pots. A job for winter.

He Tyrone

any update about the ravenala madagascariensis? The survived the albany winter?

All of them survived but don’t look magnificent. I may still lose one that is down to one unfurled leaf but it’s pushing it out relatively quickly and we’ve still got good weather ahead so I’m hoping it will live. I’m hoping for a milder winter this time around. 

The last winter was the worst ever for me. Only one frost but that night we went down to negative 2.5C. About 8 hrs below zero. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Lots of stuff damaged and recovering.

I planted 4 Jubaeas this week. They are 4 years from seed and we’re pushing themselves up out of their pots. On closer examination the roots were the size of adult fingers and were literally trying to burrow down but instead were just pushing the plant up and out of the pot. 

These 4 will join up with one already in the ground so there are 5 in total. In time, a long time, these will create an avenue of enormous trunks. Even without a trunk this species just looks perfect no matter the season. A set and basically forget palm for my climate.

Thanks. I did try 250 rainbow trout in there. The cormorants came and they were no more. The water temp was too high for them anyway. I had Venturi systems in there to add oxygen, but the water comes off peat and is a tea colour. It absorbs sunlight really well. So the top part is as warm as a bath but underneath it’s much colder. It would probably be ideal for Murray Cod or Silver Perch, but it flows into the local rivers and it is highly illegal to keep those species where they can escape and thrive in the local river systems. I don’t think you can get Murray Cod here anyway.

Ive made some new billabongs on the other side of the house for drainage purposes with raised beds around them, that will be fully planted up in time. My plan is to get some local Pygmy perch in there. Not big enough to eat as they only grow to about 7cm long but they are cute.
