Hiya All,
Anyone on/around the central Gold Coast area, know where I could buy a couple of small (3m max) palm type trees, to put in the front garden of our new house we move into on the 28Th. July???? I only have an open backed ute for transport............so the reason for 3m!!!

(And yes, I know there are plenty in the forrests.............)

Cheers All

You want to plant weeds?????


Buy some Cuban Royals and make it worth while.

I live in Perth SOR and have many palm trees if anyone would like to come and pull them out they can have them.
This is for real and not a joke
Just PM me

Hi. Carrara Market is excellent for plants. Also, Big W has a good selection as well as Bunnings. Bear in mind though that a lot of palms do not like full sun, so position is important. If you need sun tolerant palms, then I recommend Albans (a cross between Alexander and Bangalow). We have a few around our pool and they look great. I also love Foxtail Palms. The juvenile plants don't look that fantastic when they are young, but the mature plants look great and are also sun tolerant. If you check out Carrara Market, there is a nursery right opposite and they also have a good selection.

Hi lovealot,
What sort of palms do you have and what size?

Cheers

Chris

Know the feeling well We are in the same place as you and we paid to have 15 removed from along the edge of our entertaining area. Still got about another 15 dotted around the garden. Bloody things

I'll ask the old man when he comes home. We've probably got some we don't want I hate them

Crispy I have pm'd you

I hate palms, crap shade and allways dropping fronds that cost to get rid of.

Now a good mango tree is just the ticket and the fruit is soooo sweeeeett

Thanx a million for all your replies, all taken on board.
Thanx

Checked with OH. He looked at me like I was mad and said he got rid of most of them as soon as he could. Got a few huge ones that will be gone one day.
BTW you do know that cockroaches love them and when you chop a huge one down millions of the buggers crawl out

Gday Dave and Kath ( conjoined twins huh?)

Theres a market at Cabouture, northside . every sunday starts at 4am, and apparently Palm Trees from 2m + at very reasonable prices.

Better in your palm tree than in your house!!!!!

Don't do it,

you'll get bloody great fruit bats sitting in them, spitting the palm nuts into your pool, and then flying off & shi**ing all over your car, windows n' that, moan whinge etc, etc.

Seriosly though, they are pain in the arse, always have bits falling off them & looking untidy when they grow.

I think this would depend on what species of palm tree you are referring to. We have 4 species in our garden, have never had any problems, they look great and wouldn't change them for anything. We also have 4 smaller palms as houseplants.
