One little palm I definitely thought would not make the cool subtropical climate. I purchased this little gem and thought iam only going to kill it so i donated it to the Coffs garden project. Due to the fact they had a rather large climate controlled hothouse it will definitely survive. Survived it has in the gardens nursery section, and even more surprising is the other one I have at home is surviving just as well. Others are failing now around it due to cold weather but the sarawakensis is up and running! Winter is not over yet but iam confident if it hasn’t been cooked by the cold weather now it most likely won’t be! Wonders never cease.

Yep you just don’t know. It’s interesting for the palm community to hear of new varieties available about cool tolerance for new varieties of tropical palms that are rare. Going out on limb does pay off in the end, but I will say I have had my failures that’s for sure!

Not sure I’ve been trying to find info on them. Obviously there from sarawak and looks very similar to crassipes which is a tropical lowland palm.
