I recently acquired 16 new additions to my palm collection. I now have 60 species in my garden. Some are experimental. Hopefully they will adapt to my 9b dry climate. I’m currently busy installing irrigation which will make watering easier. 

Here is a list of my new palms:

chamaedorea elegans, tepejelote, cataractarum & seifrizii 

jubaeopsis caffra

caryota maxima & mitis 

Syagrus botryophora 

Arenga engleri *

Lytocaryum insigne

Howea forsteriana

Coccothrinax sp ?

Hyphaene coriacea 

Dypsis decaryi 

Raphis excelsa *

Wodyetia bifurcata *

* Already present in my collection

    I can't say for certain but it reminds me of C. barbadensis. This is one of the commoner and faster growing Coccos.

    I drove to Hoedspruit in the Lowveld to buy palms. Got about 16 new species for my collection. Here are pictures of my new Needle palm and my second Jubaeopsis caffra. I planted them yesterday.
