I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Jerry has a nice yellowy orange variety of the Sealing Wax.  I'd like to see that.  Do you do requests?

Awesome pictures Jerry. I've never even heard of Loxococos rupicola before, but the color on the new leaf is striking. Always good to see a Marojejya too.

Unbelievable landscaping and fantastic photos!  I'm so disappointed I missed this event, despite being on the same island on Sunday.  Maybe next time!

Great pics. Good to see what you are all doing when not on computers or in your own gardens.

There is no palm society in Fiji but I imagine if there was one it would be a bunch of copra growers sitting around the kava bowl with chasers of fiji bitter and overproof rum. And of course complaining about the decreasing market price of their copra.

It's all coconuts.

Located on Vanua Levu near Savusavu (16degrees South) Elevation from sealevel to 30meters with average annual rainfall of 2800mm (110in) with temperature from 18 to 34C (65 to 92F).

Hi Jim

Pity there's not enough interest to form a society there because there's some great palms endemic to the Fiji islands. I picked up one last weekend in fact, Clinostigma exorrhizum.

Look forward Dean to seeing those high res palm society photos, please let me know when they are up and running.

Can someone tell us more about the Hawaii Island Palm Society, how many active members, do they have meetings as well as outings etc. ?

Happy Gardening

Wal,

HIPS (Hawaii Island Palm Society) has about 200 members. Most (probably 75-80%) live within 45 minutes (driving) of Hilo, on the windward side of the Big Island. Another dozen or so live on the Kona side, which is about a 2 hour drive from Hilo. A few live on some of the other islands here, and a few on the U.S. mainland.

We have about 6-7 "get togethers" in a typical year; a few garden tours (including one on the Kona side), a couple of slide show/power point presentations (usually at UHH - University of Hawaii Hilo - campus) and maybe a "workshop" or two. A few months ago we had a "Licuala night" with information about this genus, growing experiences, as well as auction & raffle. And the best attended event of the year is our annual Barbecue which takes place on a Friday night in late Jan or early Feb in Wailoa River State Park close to downtown Hilo. After the BBQ a great auction. At this event back in Feb 2007 we had 145 participants. Not bad for a club with 200 members!

A palm colleague on the mainland has pointed out that Calyptrocalyx sanumb is not on the Kew list of species names. Is this a newly described species?
