Two with some trunk already on them, not two saplings.

They will actually grow better in the long term planted small... Buying two trunked ones, from a much warmer climate, then plonking them in a cooler wetter climate is never a good idea & they rarely survive & if they do they look awful & grow very slowly...fern Rob wrote:Two with some trunk already on them, not two saplings.

it can not be much cooler or they wouldn't have grown so well for so long.

People have a want for an instant big palm, but in my experience planting a small palm grows better, bigger & faster in the long term

Hopefully some will be planted soon, it will certainly set the glass house off again, as that looks fantastic.Nathan wrote:But it is a much cooler climate than the imported mature Phoenix canariensis would come from...fern Rob wrote:it can not be much cooler or they wouldn't have grown so well for so long.
