    I think that when mature, these H. beguini will be fine in the middle of tall and straight trunks of the Areca species we planted, added to the native A.catechu and A. concinna freely seeding themselves ( Ohhhh , so many weeds!)

    We have to wait until they grow, so if you - Palmtalk friends - can post your pics of these species, it would be nice to see these beautiful palms.
