Livingstonia decora/decipiens

[Cycadcenter]

Not too sure what happened to this one!  located north of Bundaberg.

This is near 1770 whith the decipiens growing on the beach edge.

This is a picture of my L. Decepiens/Decora (foreground) bent to the ground with ice (Jan 07).  The fronds permanently stayed bent downward after the storm but the palm survived.  It quickly re-grew it's crown and looks great today.  This year it saw temps as low as 23F and didn't even get nipped.  Jv

This is the same palm 8 months later...  Jrecovered quickly.  v

Well, I'll go against the crowd.. I like the look of L. chinensis better. Maybe decipiens looks better in person than in the photos though.

Livistona chinensis is my favorite palm - especially for the New Orleans area and Livistona decora is a very close second.

Here are some decipiens/decora in their natural habitat near Woodgate Beach  Qld which is about 10km from one of our farms there.

Bruce - those palms are awesome, I'm looking forward to watching mine get some height.
