And to my surprise i had seen there the stoutest of the stout royals in many residential houses..i will see wheather i will get permission to take snaps of those too...but need some time on that...

those were very stout & impressive and i have never seen so big ones even in our forum members stills.and to my observation the royals love cooler climates than the hot place that i live-in...

love conquers all..

Those royals are some fatties.  I just can't help but smack them everytime I'm near one.  I don't know about you guys but I would steer clear of any coconut palm.  I wondered if anyone go plop by one of the coconut by the sidewalk (DOINK!).

please show more pics Kris.

I spent some time in Bangalore in 1977 and found it to be a nice feeling with not so much of the common hustle and bustle of other big cities in India. Also there was not that many palm variety there then.

Coconuts are most often used when they can be as they are relatively fast growing, cheap or free and abundant and will transplant easily when already large size.

Same here in the south pacific where we are sick of the sight of the dirty things.

Some new shape and form is more appreciated than the cheap way.

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).

Kris, thanks for those stills.  Those Royals are beautiful.

May I request that you be careful while shooting pictures while driving.....on the wrong side of the road.

KRIS!

You're driving on whatever side of the road, keep the headgear on straight, and let's have some more palms.

Or pics of people's houses.

If no one else cares, I do.

PICTURE!  ROWEREREREE

Ahem.
