Locusts fordiana a tough licuala that’s easy to grow

[happypalms]

I have a few fordiana scattered around the garden and the results are in their easy to grow and do well in my climate. Another licuala for the subtropics, good stuff, cool tolerant and heat resistant in the subtropical climate iam sure they love any amount of water they are given. Not that slow either like a few other licuala varieties, five green thumbs from happypalms.

Potentially the hardiest Licuala. Got a few small seedlings slowly up to a decent size over a few years down here. Basically all other Licuala here are no-gos with the exception of ramsayi and potentially peltata. All are extremely slow in this temperate climate.

Yer a tough one, trust you to have a few. Iam  trialing a few have a look at bracteata it’s doing well in my garden, you just never know, it would be slow but worth a look!
