    @bubba I had a 1 gallon Syagrus Schizophylla for about 3 years . The growth was hardly noticeable. That example is amazing . Even if the gopher didn’t eat mine , I don’t think I would be on this planet long enough to see any kind of height like the example you posted . Not here in Southern California , that’s for sure . Thank you for posting. HarryIMG_4152.thumb.jpeg.8a070ac2a9b9e366193ac7fd5b0ba3ab.jpeg

    R.I.P. My little Syagrus just before becoming gopher food! IMG_0322.thumb.jpeg.5570b4380538c908e8e4ae11280f2d49.jpeg
    As planted 3 years prior! Yea …. I know!

    Prestoea acuminata var montana inflorescence would catch anyone's eye. In two weeks it will be pink, then red. The bees are having a party.

    And I certainly know the name of this top Australian palm, the grand old lacospadix Australis single trunk var. This one gets a nice new liver colour leaf.

    Yes I know the rules on nonaclatuter, modern science. Iam the same with dypsis and chrysolidicarpus. I buy it as a dypsis it stays a dypsis.
