J'espère que les miens seront aussi beaux! En tout cas ils poussent aussi vite que Trachycarpus ici malgré vous savez quoi

Et les -4°C de cet hiver les ont fait bien marrer

D'ailleurs d'après "Tyrone" les A alexandrae d'Eungella ont une forme différente des classiques de plus basse altitude et pense qu'ils sont plus résistant au froid.Love the pics Jonathan.
Eungalla is an amazing place. I've been there twice looking for Bangalows but never found them. I didn't know that they were at a higher altitude. I'll have to go back for the 3rd time and find them a Pease Lookout. We've never spent more than a couple of days in the area because we've done the Brissie-Cooktown dash twice on a tight schedule. I'd love to spend a few relaxed days walking all the trails up there. I think the Alex's up there are different to standard lowland varieties too. Suposedly they're more cold tolerant. The town of Eungalla and the surrounding rainforest gets snow every few years. When we were there in 07 they'd got down to minus 6C and all the potatoe crops died. Was it cold at night where you stayed. In Aug 07 we stayed at Finch Hatton at much lower altitude and I swear that it must have been 2C in the mornings. Absolutely freezing, and very surprising considering the tropicality of the place. By noon it was a balmy 23C though.
I personally think L sp Eungalla is distinct from australis, but I'm not a botanist. It does seem to have a different look IMO. Since seeing them in the wild, I love the stretched look of shade grown Livistona.
Best regards
