A trio of some Ernest Augustii tubes I thought could go in the ground. This little group came from Tim Brisbane in sunny warm Melbourne. Some quality little chams fast growing I think about a year in my collection. So if you’re in the market for some healthy palms get onto Tim Brisbane a quality grower. An easy palm to grow quite tough a little dry tolerant but prefers a bit of water. Cool tolerant to 2 degrees Celsius frost would not be there friend but they  take cold wet conditions in a subtropical climate.

Looking good Richard. I kept a couple from that batch for myself. Think it might be time to get these in the ground too.

My little chap went into the ground nearly a year ago and has grown so quickly,  he is about 1 metre overall height  and flowered recently. The recent filthy winter didn't faze it in the slightest.  As Happypalms said,  frost may finish them off but temps as low as -3c doesn't bother them at all.

Got my 2 in the ground too Richard. They go under a mature female C ernesti-augustii to hopefully form a seed setting group one day.

I have about ten mature females with only one male in a pot. The boys are rare in my garden. Group plantings are the go for Chams in the ground.
