Always a treat to visit Stan and Jane’s place on the Sunshine Coast. The collection of palms and cycads is incredible, and they always put on a lovely spread for PACSOA.

Stan’s Tahina spectabilis has a trunk almost as girthy as a Jubaea. It’s a close call between this and the specimen at Townsville’s Queens Garden for the largest in Australia, but I reckon Stan might just have it.

Personally not a huge fan of Phoenix hybrids, but this one is rather nice. Appears to be P. roebelenii x P. rupicola (or reverse).

Keep Licuala peltata var. sumawongii out of wind and they look as good as this.

Jubaea chilensis once again proving it loves growing in the sub-tropics, given the right conditions.

A Syagrus that had us all stumped. 

S. tessmannii was suggested, but that is a synonym of S. sancona (according to Kew), which is way more plumose. Whatever it is, it’s lovely.

Keen to know what others think.

An F2 Butyagrus nabonnandii, most likely back crossed with Syagrus romanzoffiana. Developing a pretty stocky trunk.

A victim of their own success in the tropics. So common, not a single soul stopped to admire these stunning palms.

I’ve only seen one specimen larger than this in Australia (Mark Daish, Babinda). My own seedlings are almost through their second SE QLD winter without skipping a beat so they certainly have some toughness to them.

Certainly lives up to its namesake. Also tough as nails and thrives in full sun.

It could be and was suggested by someone on the day, but for me it just seems somewhat tighter in the crown than S. amara.

Awesome! I remember seeing photos of V perrieri at Floribunda and thinking I’d love to try to grow one. Didn’t realise they were in cultivation in Aus and looks like this one is mature. Great to see!

I’m told it hasn’t set fruit yet Tim, but I’ll try to get some seed if it does.
