With the light filtering through the leaflets, they are truly a spectacular sight, viewable at Wollongong Botanic Gardens

I do love it but my lone green one struggles with my climate. That one is better off in your yard.

I’ve never seen one. There you go. I take it this will need complete shade to do well.

There is 2 of these growing at the Wollongong botanic gardens, and another that Wal Donovan, named snow drop and the leaves look like snow had fallen on the top;

Also there is a Howea forsteriana  "upright form" has shuttlecock petioles. They are near teh ones with the bronze new leaves

Hi Tyrone, 

You would not recognise the palm collection in Sydney either, lots of growth since your last visit, more species planted, let me know if you come over

There is now 3 Variegated Howea forsteriana's planted together in the Wollongong botanic gardens, trying to create a mini forest of them, taken many years to see if the variegation held before planting.

That is if you can find a strong seedling first

regards

Colin
