Never grown this one before but there’s always time for a first time. Being a Caryota it should be easy to grow just add water, it has survived winter in the greenhouse and is growing fine for a purchased tube stock.

Indeed it was. Should be an easy one to grow just need room to plant it for full display when it mature.

I love the leaf shape on that one. The first time I went to Mt Coot-tha BG I nearly fainted when I saw how huge some of the Caryotas can get.  I bought a Caryota from a nursery about 3 years ago, planted it last year and it grew into a foxtail. Very disappointing, more so when my space is so limited but I can't bring myself to pulling out a perfectly healthy palm.

I could’ve sworn this was synonymous with C rumphiana, but looks like it is an accepted species by Kew. Funny how I now feel like I should be growing it, always good to grow the native species.

Curse the foxtail for imitation of a Caryota. I have Caryota kirriwongensis about 100 of them your welcome to one if your game enough to plant it.

I remember some Caryota in Coffs Harbour years ago and were very similar looking to albertii. But they have since died being moncarpic. But whoever planted them knew what they had.

Thanks for the offer but I have been in dunnies bigger than my backyard so it would be a one plant garden.

Problem being that you'd have to demolish your house to make room for it!
