Chris, that's true; they do grow in the far east of your state. It would be interesting to see if they are as tall down there.

When I said they are the only species that grow as far south as Sydney, I meant the only species of Livistona. The bangalows (A. cunninghamiana) grow as far south as Durras Mountain, near Batemans Bay.  For those geo-botanically minded people, Durras Mountain also happens to be the most southerly location of Cyathea cooperi tree ferns.

Philip, you're killing me LOL.  I didn't need to see what I missed while in your neck of the woods.  Those are tall beauties for sure.  Thanks for posting.

No one cares about your current yard temperature 🙃
