Palms of the Seychelles

Two more Acanthophoenix rubra pics.

Another Phoenicophorium , this time in a more jungly habitat.

I have several Phoenicophorium Borsigianum seedlings, and they are the saddest looking grey and brown spiky things, like tinned anchovies on a stick, but they keep pushing up new leaves! I'm going to put them in a purpose-built rainforest chamber and I bet they will rocket.

I would do that John as that boat in that blizzard must create havoc for your palms.

Sail that thing to the tropics.

Merry Christmas,

Very nice pics Wal. This is one I wish I could grow. Actually, I wish I could grow them all, but this is one of my tops.

Thanks Wal for the feast you have dished up. Those Acanthophoenix rubra look very similar in size to Alexes and Princess palm but ones I've seen around our neck of the woods are very slow and small skinny things. Maybe we have a soil deficiency in Sth Queensland. Is there anyone in OZ growing this well. If so let see some photos.
