How about a clandestine raid with Jubaea seeds on Exmoor and the Peak district and come back in a hundred years time for some pics

Good idea! The wind doesn't seem to faze them.

We have discussed Jubea chilensis water requirements several times on here, and EPS, and we came to the conclusion they like a very well drained soil. I think the growing amongst Cacti tends to reinforce that.

I would of thought that ALL palms like well drained soil

Yeah I water my Phoenix canariensis_CIDP loads in the summer, at first I was worried I would overdo it, but it seems to love it, cant get enough.

With a double layer of fleece draped over the plant down to the ground weighed down with rigid plastic wire taped on with duct tape, with the plant's fronds tied up. A plastic covering stapled to the top of the fleece to keep the rain out and as many litres of water in plastic water bottles as I could fit in under the fleece. Even then it only just made it (See the thread on Phoenix canariensis_CIDP recovery)

Its the one on the left... difficult to make out the plastic.

Also, I removed the protection as soon as possible during mild spells, which I think is very important. I designed it with the rigid wire so it could easily be removed and put back quickly with the changing weather.

I reposted this in the Phoenix canariensis_CIDP recovery thread aswell as it might be useful there. Hope thats OK with the admins.

Ok lets plant them all over the east side of the pennines then where the rainfall is much less.
