In NZ they form much larger, multiheaded examples than they do here.

Have you been to Cornwall? This palm

is in the garden of my old house. There are some bigger than that
around Penzance, but this one had spectacular flowers.

That is a lovely example Graham.

Yes, I have been to Cornwall many times - the Thomas family emigrated from
Cornwall to NZ in 1861 - tin miners from the Caradon hill area.

Short, sharp thunderstorm here (Reading) at 8.25pm.
