Where are you going to plant the Joey ?  ::

A shady spot out the back eventually

I wished I could build something like that here in Darwin. The cost of building here is so expensive with all the cyclone coding and everything. I couldn't believe how cheap it was to build in Brisbane. With the same money, we could've got a house more than twice as big as ours.

We just finished ours last year. It was really an experience I am not keen to do again!!

Yes Ari building is very stressful, I don't think I'll do it again

Cheers

Eutrepe Edulis ditto

[Tassie_Troy1971]

A nice collection Sol , a bit more diversified than mine . The Parajubea Coccoides sounds like a good one for our climate . Musa Bajoo

the cold hardy banana look to be a good choice my banana died in winter 2 yrs ago so i got the GBOP !

[ariscott]

I admire your effort... When we were in Tassie, all we've got were roses and tulips - and veggie patch of course.

Regards, Ari

Beautiful house, wonderful collection of rare palms. Did I see a Meryta sinclairi too? Hobart's temperatures must be rather similar to San Francisco's, where we grow Ceroxylons, Parajubaeas, Hedyscepes etc. (with gratitude for our mildness).
