20.01.2022 The least loved and least grown of the east coast Livistonas is L. muelleri. Very slow growing and impossible to transplant, it was once common around Cairns in low lying coastal areas. Though its habitat is being replaced by subdivisions and parking lots, you can still find the odd one on the fringes if the city. This trio is near Trinity Beach.

08.01.2022 The native weeping fan palm Livistona decora used in landscaping, Brisbane. Very under used I think; it is slender, attractive, drought hardy and reasonably fast growing.

07.01.2022 Great garden visit last weekend to the home of Philip Arrowsmith in inner western Brisbane. Philip has been there for 39 years and has amassed a stunning collection of palms, orchids, cycads, bromeliads and much more. The recent rains have brought Queensland gardens to life, and Philip's really shone. Join the Palm & Cycad Society to experience some of Australia's best private gardens.

06.01.2022 Only 1 week to go until our Annual Show and Sale. If you are in SE Queensland next weekend, why not stop in at Mt. Cootha Botanic gardens. We'll have hundreds of species for sale at great prices, with cultivation experts on hand to help you find the perfect plant for any garden situation.

06.01.2022 Some photos of last weekend's visit to the garden of Klaus Sietas in Camira, Qld. Wow! A stunning collection of cycads, palms, broms, succulents, orchids and much more, lovingly grown over 40 years at his half-acre property. More than one member commented on this being one of the best gardens we've ever been to. Many thanks to Klaus and his wife for hosting us.

06.01.2022 This palm must be close to setting a record for longevity. It is a Phoenix sylvestris, planted in 1864, making it 156 years old. Brisbane Botanic Gardens, QLD.

06.01.2022 Some of the stunning Cycads in our display area. Many of these species are for sale at Mt Cootha this weekend.

05.01.2022 Livistona drudei, at Hen Camp Creek, north of Townsville, Queensland. This species has a more compact growing habit than L. decora, and on young plants the leaves are less deeply divided. Its natural range is quite small, and is usually found in low swampy coastal areas along creeks, often in company with Melaleuca. The population along Hen Camp Creek is on private land is not protected.

05.01.2022 Licuala gracilis, Townsville Palmetum. This slender Licuala is native to moderate altitude rainforests on Sumatra and western Java. It is a slow grower; this specimen was planted in 1986!

05.01.2022 The Fan Palm Walk in Djiru National Park near Mission Beach is one of the richest short walks in all of Australia for native palms and cycads. The grove of Licuala ramsayi with their stunning pinwheel leaves are the main attraction, but you will also find the slender Hydriastele wendlandiana, Linospadix minor, Alexandras, and two rattans- Calamus australis and C. moti. The cycad Bowenia spectabilis is abundant, and there are a few tall specimens of Lepidozamia hopei. Ferns, Pandanus and rainforest trees abound. And finally there is a good chance of spotting cassowaries- we saw one just last week on the track.

01.01.2022 Less than 2 weeks to go until our big plant sale and show on March 6-7 at Mt. Cootha. Hundreds of species of Cycads and Palms for sale, from shade loving rain forest dwellers to sun living feature plants. Sale starts Saturday March 6 at 9am.
