My parajubaea cocoides that I grew from seed from Darold Pettys specimen.

I remember in 2010  Darold had a few parajubaea cocoides seeds in his Garage and said hey Troy take these back to Tasmania and try to grow them.

A really fantastic palm. The one in the SF Botanical Garden could look better but there's still a nice one near Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz (I think it was cocoides, but might be sunkha, I don't remember).

I think they prefer your cooler climate Troy, that's a gorgeous palm. Of 3 species I'm growing up here, P. cocoides struggles the most. Growing, but doesn't look right and no where near as happy compared to P, torallyi and P. sunkha. 

For those of you that frequent Facebook, I’ve set up a group called “Pommy palms”, where many of the palms I’ve seen since emigrating to Australia have been documented. If you wish to be a member, copy and paste “Pommy palms” into Facebook to view the page and click “Join group”.
