Chalermchart,

Poonsak really does have some amazing palms that we don't hear of or see anywhere else.

The next time we go to Thailand we must check out his place. Lovely stuff!!! :D  :D

Thanks for posting them.

Does he actually bind the roots and do the progressive repotting techniques that bonsai needs for those plants to stay miniature ?

Hi Chalermchart:

I haven't heard much about Poonsak Vatcharakorn except for the nice pictures you've shown here in Palmtalk. Is he a famous landscaper/collector in Asia?

I'll tell you: he sounds like the kind of friend I'd really like to have  :)  

Ohh, if I only knew how to keep my Iguanuras alive... :(

Jim,

I have no idea about the Bonzai. I don't think they bind the root though. There are many dwarf varieties here of D. lutescens so it might be easier to make bonzai from dwarf varieties...

Gileno,

Poonsak is co-author of the book "Palm and Cycad of Thailand". He's probably the most knowledgable person about Thai forest. He also works at Nongnooch garden for several before retiring. He still discovers many new species from Thai jungle every day including palms,  ferns and orchids. For those who went to 1998 Biennial in Thailand may be familair with him as he's the one who lead the post tours to some palm habitats.

I was there for the 98 biennial. It was a great post trip, and really enjoyed romping through the forest. Thanks for showing us some unusual species of Thai palms.
