Two more great palms go in the ground, I already have them scattered throughout the garden, but when I find a nice palm that grows well and takes the cool winter I stock up on them, mainly for ornamental affect but also for future seed production. Some I may never see set seeds others are quite fast at flowering from a young age either way plant em in the ground.

Richard. We'll steal everything from you tonight. I'll lead the grand plan for the precious palm trees. But Mazat will be in charge of finding a private jet to travel to Australia. Guiussepe will be the technical director of the plan, and I'll be the brains. Harry will also provide the technical and precision tools. It's a plan for Europe and America. To get there, Richard. This time, you'll only have to hand over those precious palm trees, which are very valuable. And Mr. John and Sancho will keep half the loot. Constantinos will contribute with the swim to skirt the coast. And I'll be in charge of convincing Dave to come with us and contribute his expertise.

You have many beautiful species, but mine are just germinating. I must have larger species in development.

You're right Colin, he's one of the best experts on chamaedorea, just what I'm interested in.

Richard and all of you, seriously, if we were thieves, I don't think we'd waste our time writing here, instead of going out to steal.
I tell everyone, my wife and I had a business. I saw people of all ages stealing low-value goods. What a shame, but the more I saw these dishonest people, the more my faith in God grew.

It's not true, you have so many species, almost all of which are impossible for me to grow, but I'm not complaining, I can grow more than 150 species of palm trees, and even hybrids of palm trees that are resistant to light frost.

The way I look at thieves is go and get a job and work for it. It’s not hard to go to work, in fact the hardest part about working is getting out of bed to go to work. It’s a struggle sometimes for people and resorting to stealing is not good, Australia was penal colony for mother England but most of those sent to Australia was for stealing food. Obviously that is a different situation and that’s when it becomes a struggle for some people, die or steal food tough choice. But as for a thief I have no time for them.

Ok I have a few species but like all palm collectors there is room for more palms.

You know that all this talk and all this nonsense is just a joke, Richard. But it's to have a good time for a while. You know that the beautiful world of palm trees unites us. There are palm trees for cold or extreme climates. Cold climates for Ireland, England, Europe, and more tropical ones like the Caribbean or the Pacific islands. Each palm tree will suit different climates.

Oh yes i  know it’s a joke, I don’t mind a bit of stirring up Australians are good at doing that, at work we are the same so long as the job gets done have fun along the way , and then there are times when you know to be straight forward with no joking around. There are hundreds of palms suited to your environment, finding them is the hard part. With the internet and palmtalk you can easily find out what grows in your climate. But sometimes do by the internet palmtalk yes but the net is full of misleading information.

That's true, dear friend Richard. You have a very good Irish and, above all, Celtic character. I'm like that too. Calm, peacemaker, but when I get overwhelmed, I'm a tank or a tornado.💪💪😅
