Well I hope that's what it is.  Two of the last 3 or 4 pictures I've posted have been called something other than what I thought they were.

Anyway these seeds came from Australia probably in 2000.  I just planted one in the ground in Oct of last year.  Second photo shows a whole lot of growth taken last month.

Thread over in the jungle about it a few months ago, act back in June .

No changes on PACSOA yet . Very impressive growth rates there Steve .

I have a mate (called steve) who has some mature clumps of these growing naturally on his place , they are enormous.

Generally considered the best Livistona. In habitat they are hard to beat. What do others consider the better palm from this genus.

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

Are this in the shade ? They look like mine that is growing in shade. The palms growing in full sun have shorter petioles.

Lovely palm. they grow exceptionally well here in Spain and  quickly. It's leaves should start to droop soon giving that incredible ribbon effect. Personally my favorite is Livsitona nitida and quite possibly the most cold hardy.

YEs it is growing in partial shade.  Heaver in rainy season when over story has more leaves.

I was a little worried as the frond tips were not drooping.

Seeds came from Daryl.  Big mahalo guy.  I had some from a

L. sibrus (sp) that I planted at local high school.  I have to run over and photo those.

My favorite, too.  Plus the fastest growing.  It really loves sun and lots of water.

They are indeed fast growers. These two went in the ground about 7 years ago, from a 1 gallon pot. They're in full sun and have been regularly fertilized. They started seeding two years ago and have been completely trouble free. Most of the pics of mature L. decora I've seen don't have the leaf bases like mine do; they show no signs of wanting to fall off any time soon.
