I don't have the best soil and drainage but I tried hard to amend the soil with compost and gypsum ... Another thing is I thing the palms might get 1-2 hour sun during the day and then shade...I hope they can cope with that as I didn't install any shade cloth ? before : after : 5 Nov 2016: Update on my Hedyscepe canterburyana and Rhopalostylis sapida ...they grow slowly but surely 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sbpalms 68 Report post Posted December 30, 2016 Really nice! I think most of the palms on your list should be fine on Sydney. I'd make sure to protect Latania loddigesii, Carpoxylon macrospermum, and Hyophorbe lagenicaulis, though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palms4Steve 208 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 Looks like it's growing very well. Looking very healthy. The trouble with them when they eventually get big, there fronds are so heavy when they drop they can damage plants planted underneath. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was outside last winter in my shade house and did get a few marks on the leaves. I hadn't noticed any colour in new fronds so far. Steve. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtsteve 1,403 Report post Posted March 9, 2017 I think that it will grow well until the roots fill the rock space then it will slow right down and eventually blow over in a storm. Unless it can find some good cracks in the rock. :-( or if you are lucky you may end up with a nice bonsai. :-) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
