Yes, not the most exciting palm but.......

Thanks Pal. That climate data is a good indicator but not as accurate for my location as may garden is about 37km south of where that data is collected not nearly as urban and 100 to 300mm wetter. 

I do have a Chamerops humilis it is only a strap leafed seedling at the moment. Trunking specimens are sometimes available but expensive . I will probably won't plant mine in the front garden but along my east boundary to become part of the hedge where the spines will be useful botanical barbed wire.

Missing palm...Brahea (silver)? Smaller type?

For some reason I have no why any Brahea sp. are rarely available in the local nurseries. It is one I'd either have to grow from seed or dig up one of the many seedlings growing under the mature specimens in the Waite Arboretum.

You can get them sent over bare rooted from W.A.  http://www.premierpalms.com/#

They have B. armarta and Super silvers.

Thanks for sharing that link Micheal. I do like Brahea armata and the super silver. I do agree with  the others my garden could use more variation in leaf colour a Brahea would  certainly achieve that. That position on my plan is actually sheltered and shaded thanks to my house, balcony and the trees growing in the colvert/drain/creek next to my property. I planted a multi planted pot of Archontopheonix cunninghamiana last autumn that is looking good and am thinking of adding another group but that might be too much as they might be to clise to the Jubaea.
