I started planting tiny Rhopalostylis seedlings (bauri and sapida) many years ago. Was worth the wait. Here are some of them.

    I really wish I could grow these here, but the summer would cook them then the winter would melt them. I think even my grow room is probably too warm and humid.

    Gorgeous garden Jim,  yours is one of the best looking "stuffed" gardens(palms per square meter) I have seen.  Everything looks happy!

    Yes, my “Lassie.” Actually he’s Midas and will be two years old on the 30th of November. :) He’s VERY gentle in the garden.

    Thanks! Always looking for a way to “stuff” in another palm species.

    Those are some nice specimens.  I really like the one that appears to have it's heal still intact while still forming a fat base and trunk.  My seed grown R. bauri set their first crop of seed this year after about 14 years old.  Your larger ones must be 20 to 25+ years old?
