Palms in Melbourne

[JLE]

Looking for a few hard to find palms in Melbourne.

Pheonix rupicola

Archontopheonix purpurea

Dypsis leptocheilos

Rhapalostlis baueri

Hedyscepe canterburyana

Linospadix monostachya

Brahea armata

Parajubaea cocoides

Any help in locating any of these palms would be great, thanks :-)

Hi Joe

Yes palms for Brisbane Will be able to help you with these palms .

I got a big 70cm Hedyscepe from them in March ( already have 3 growing down here )

I have spare Rhopalostylis sapida but no baueri .

Parajubaea cocoides is going to be a tough one to source . I got mine from a palm grower down here but ha hasn't any spares left now .

Great guys, thanks for that. I'll be intouch with them and hopefully have some palms on the way soon.

I have 2 sapida allready they seem to be doing pretty well. I thought the patajubaea would be hard to find.

Just curious if you've searched the forum at all for other Melbourne gardeners.. There are a few of us raging palmaholics in Melbourne and all these palms are growing here. PFB can be useful, but you will always have a more challenging time of it acclimating a tropic-grown bare-rooted palm. B armata and P cocoides are available In Victoria, but privately, not commercially.
