A fantastic Australian palm that deserves more attention in the garden. Cool tolerant  shade loving understory palm, that’s easy to grow. Even i have missed the boat in these ones in the garden with only one mature specimen. Sidetracked by other more tropical exotics from overseas. I do know one thing they look fantastic in a grove in the rainforests. So it might be time I got the shovel out and planted a few dozen in a group. A palm that is native to my area 20 minutes drive away, seeds by the thousands if I want them. Yet a little rare in some country’s, I might have to get a few seeds out there to a few growers I think!

Yes , if you got them , plant them . Being native , they will be well acclimated to the environment even in winter. Harry

There an easy one to grow I will say that. I have seen some amazing looking groves of them by the thousands. They grow in some cold places around here they laugh at winter.

I love these palms.  I have 2 tiny babies at last.  Even though they are a native, it took me 20 years to find one, that one had to be left behind when I moved house !  They should be readily available in all nurseries instead of those ghastly Golden bloody Canes.

Golden canes hey those that plant them  have nothing better to do than pick up leaves on a Sunday gardening job, then tack there trailer load of leaves to the green waste tip. You should have let me know you wanted some I got stacks of them. Burringbar rainforest nursery has them for sale.

Couple of nice ones. For a palm native to my area you  don’t see them in public gardens. Or even in shaded landscape building projects. All you get around here is generic common landscaping jobs to be seen.

Pretty sure I saw lots of these in habitat while cruising around the wilds of Brisbane area with @Daryl and other palm peeps. I'm amazed to read they aren't readily available in nurseries in Australia. Seems like a very versatile palm, would be nice to have a group of them.

There are a couple in Golden Gate Park doing well. They were flowering when I was there the other day. I have tried multiple times to locate a US seller with no luck (but a couple of attempted scams on this site, beware).

Very under rated palm even in there native land. I’m planning to grow heaps wherever I can find a suitable spot. They grow well in the understory of Bangalow forest.

The only palms of intrested in Australia for landscapers are foxtails Alexandrae bangalows and golden canes such a shame it’s not more common. You won’t see them in the chain store nursery’s or large retail ones only specialist nurseries.
