What I found in a sheltered court yard

I visited an unwell family member in Adelaide's Repatriation General Hospital earlier this week. The Hospital was originally built in the 1940s for returning service men of world war two it's buildings are connected via covered walkways through planted courtyards. Each courtyard is slightly different. One was crammed with palms but there was no point in taking any photos as there was just no way to appreciate any on as they where planted to close. Then I found a single specimen of Howea belmoreana in a shady courtyard that was more open. The area of dead turf is just begging to be planted with Clivia.

Nice . I do like howea belmoreana.

Very nice perfectly grown tree! :greenthumb:H. belmoreana is one of my favourite palms. The last one I had grown up didn't survive last year the most extreme thundersturm »Ela« ever recorded here in NRW/Germany; the pics of that palm were taken in 2007, 2011, and 2013 one year before the disaster:

Seven years old and still no sign of belmoreana caracteristics! How old do they have to be before they show that caracteristics?

Pal Meir, yours looks like H.forsteriana...I had a few H.belmoreanas growing years ago, and they never had the drooping leaflets at any stage, plus the petioles were not green, more of a dirty green/brown colour. For a long time they had long petioles, and short upright leaflets.

In 2011 it looked more like a H. belmoreana because I could place it on a sunny window sill. In 2012 and 2013 we had long lasting winters and dark summers in this part of Germany so that I left the palm a long time indoors. The characteristics will appear when you place it outdoors as long as possible. Otherwise it will last a little longer. But H. forsteriana has only drooping leaflets, this H. belmoreana shows some stiffer ones near the petiole. – Now I can’t show you newer photos because this palm died in June 2014 …
