Here are the two "twins" I have growing in front of my house. They seem to be racing each other to the sky. (Syagrus botryophora and Wodveitchia ).

Manny, Salacca Magnifica is as the name says, I had one about that size but it was the plant or my marriage, the misses won. :(

What?? Doesn't she like it??? I fell in love with them after I saw a couple of mature one in Kebon Raya Bogor... They are simply magnificent!!

Regards, Ari :)

When our kids were young and our pet dogs were young, both got spines in them :( so it had to go :(

Bruce your Neoveitchia storckii is spectacular!How old is it? I have two small ones in 5gal.pots and find them to be fairly slow.

Scott, the Neoveitchia is about 15 years old, they are slow to start with but once in the ground they grow very well. :)

Steve,

The B. condapanna is definitely one of my favorites as well. Got me thinking - It would surprise me if there are any other places on the planet where there are B. condapanna in three separate gardens, all within a one mile radius! :)

Bo, I would say you are probably right and we will not see these selling in mass at Home Depot anytime soon. After seeing this one in your garden it went right to the top of my wish list. Then I lucked out as Jerry had a few of these left and I had a feeling that if I did'nt get one they would be all gone by the next time I got out to the big island so I picked out the biggest one he had left. And yes , by the time we came back out there they were all gone. One of my favorites and unlike alot of rare palms their fast!

Bo, You have so many impressive palms I don't know how you could pick just one but that double coco is as good as it gets :drool: . Now if I can just find me one so we can do the one mile radius trifecta thing again :D

I will bet that few others have Astrocaryum aculeatum growing. This palm called tucumã around here has great fruits and is a spiny wonder. As each tree has different fruit qualities you do not always get good fruit. But, all of ours so far are great. This is an impressive palm. They were growing here wild before we bought the property. But, they are part of the collection.

Well its nicely grown so perhaps its impressive? This Copernicia macroglossa gets the most notice and comments when there are guests at the Moose Land. Got it as a three gallon from Ron Schaff and planted it about 14 years ago. Overall height is 12 ft and nearly as wide. Found out two years ago when getting my septic tank serviced that it was planted in the drain field. Photo from this morning. :hmm:
