A spot of pruning and turning around the old kerriodoxa was beaming. And the sallehana is starting to put out a new leaf and likes its new home!

Chrysalidocarpus titan beginning to gain more height. No trunk yet, easily 15ft. tall. Had to get a pic with the blooming vireya.

Probably not that exciting for most palmtalkers, but a healthy Chrysalidocarpus lutescens in my neighbourhood is not common at all. Probably the largest one I know of in all of Melbourne. North facing wall, less than 1km from the beach. The popular opinion is that they don’t grow here but can do ok if conditions suit.

Couple of nice seedlings iguanura wallichiana, Pinanga sarawakensis. Both will go in the garden one day, and both have survived my winter not a problem!

Satakentia, trunk is clean, smooth, and straight as an arrow. Looking good in the afternoon sun.

I have no idea what would cause them to grow like this. Maybe they were wrapped around something years and years ago? Anyway, cool stuff.

Another common one, but somewhat rare nowadays for sale! They make a great place for epithyts! The phoenix robelleni is here to stay especially in the cool climates.
