the tallest I ever saw

[doranakandawatta]

I think these palms belong to the oldest trees planted by the british in the 19th century, with the Talipot avenue or Royals avenue and the iconic Oncosperma.

If the tag is not wrong, I got the name, which from so far I couldn't find by myself.

Clochard - any guess as to its height ?

[Cedric]

Yep those must be very old. Mine are only three to four foot of trunk in 12 years, nice and fat like a Hyophorbe but that short.

MOOSE, Ronald,

My name is Philippe (Clochard is an ugly family name).

I guess they are around 20 meters high. very tall, very old.

Lovely to see. You should go there

Think its one of those plams that survive no matter what is thrown at them inching their way through life like a giant tortoise.

Almost every botanical garden in the ex-British colonies in the tropics has an Oncosperma tigillarium tower near water Im sure of it. The tropical weeping willow. I never stopped to realised that they were so long lived in fact.

Had no idea that height was possible! I wonder if they even are close to that size, in their native habitat(what's left of it).
