Had a terrific visit with Stephen and family, wanderanwills, who lives north of Sydney, last weekend, we went for a sight seeing tour, came around a corner, and there they were, on the side of the road. Seeding Livistona australis, of course we had to stop and get some. The seeds were layered on the ground between tree bark and leaf litter up to 12cm deep (4-5inch's For the USA members).

We found seed on the top of the mulch, then 2 cm below, then more further down between the layer of forest debris.

Stephen took these pictures, unfortunately did not have my camera with me, Stephen was really there

First thing found a fake eyeball, somebody is always watching smilie.gifsmilie.gif

Yo Colin,

I am going to stick my neck out and say I like the L. australis better than decora,

however, the trunk of decora can have a beautiful tan color.

A local mall features about 30 of these , and stretched they look very attractive,

mainly because you can see the fibonacci pattern of the petioles from underneath the tracery of the leaves themselves

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

A kind offer Colin, but I've already got 5 in the ground, 50 in 200mm pots in the shadehouse and another 50 odd Eungella Range seedlings......so I think we're well covered for australis!
