Kew: February 2019

Yesterday, we visited Kew for what will probably be the last time for many many years as we’re emigrating to Australia.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Kew labelled this Sabal minor, but I’m not so sure. Could this be Sabal brazoria?

Quite a few people on various forums have suggested Sabal minor var. Louisiana.

I'd be curious to see how the Encephalartos woodii is doing at this point.  It looked a bit ragged after the transplant back into the conservatory open ground.  Very important plant.  Hope it's well pleased in it's new postion.

Wow. They risked transplanting that.

What part of Australia are you moving too?

Initially South Australia for a minimum of 2 years (visa requirement). After that, the intention is to live in SE Queensland.

Well you're a lucky person to be able to move to such a palm friendly climate as SE QLD. You'll be able to grow almost everything you see at Kew out in the open. A beautiful part of the world. Even South Australia will let you grow many things too.

I can’t wait to start growing palms over there. I’ve already sent 3 seed packages over, currently working on my 4th.

QLD has some great palm nurseries too. You could go berserk with all the palmy offerings. :)

Hopefully I'll find a good job out there to pay for all these palms, lol.
