Anyone know what species of palm this is?  Ravenea rivularis the 'Majesty Palm', I love them, they look like coconut palms on steroids  Would grow really well for you right on the river bank as they are water hogs... |

Yep that's Jubaea chilensis the 'Chilean Wine Palm. And I have seen that one in the flesh as my friend used to live up the road from it in Dulwich |

My Ravenea rivularis has gone crazy, since I relocated it last winter.Years of doing almost nothing, until I planted it on a spring - it goes to show that hardiness, doesn't just relate to cold If there was a Palm abuse inquiry, I would have serious questions to answer. |

Often they look sickly yellow things with thinner trunks as most people don't realise what conditions they like, but when grown well they are awesome palms. |

And they’re serious water hogs. Mine quickly declines if I (accidentally) let it dry out, last time all the fronds died with only the spear remaining, but it’s recovered over the winter. |

I wonder what that is wrapped up in the first pic? I'm sure I remember seeing those palms at the Botanic Gardens on a forum before, the tall feather palms look like Butia yatay, quite a few trunked ones were shipped from South America to Europe a few years back. They are quite cold hardy though they don't look in great health. The smaller Phoenix palms are surely on borrowed time though  |

Looks like a Yucca rostrata, they are quite cold hardy, but ones that size are very expensive so I guess they don't want to take any chances |

^^ Yup they are! As for palms and other subtropique plants, who needs a book when you have a flaminggalah at hand? |

At first I thought they were southern catalpas based on the leaves (which are very common here), but the seed pods look completely different. |

Butia aren't a common Palm imo, even though they're an easy grow - great shape, but maybe a bit dull and short?

This time I want to collect the pictures of the little palm tree (I don't even know exactly which species it is) which is growing in a small corner of our garden. Around here there are some people who planted palm trees in their garden, even if the tree doesn't seem to enjoy the winter (and in particular the snow days) so much, but this little palm is particularly weird because no one remembers to have planted it and also because it is growing in a quite unfortunate spot (really close to an old rosemary plant and to a fence). June 2016:  January 2017, under the snow (it is one of the plants in the central part of the picture)  April 2017:  December 2017, it snowed quite a lot in that month  And here it is now:  |

That's a Trachycarpus fortunei, it is likely the seed was dropped by a bird if there are others growing where you live. |

Would grow really well for you right on the river bank as they are water hogs...
