Good name for a plant. Hope she will like it in her new 'place'.

Tt and Klahanie.....
That palm is named after me....;o))))))))))))))
I gave Roy a seedling two years ago and now it's a nice size palm.
(He comes to Corfu every year....).....with his lovely wife just so you guys don't get the wrong idea. ;o)))))))))))))

No, not yet.
But I do have some lovely bulbs they bought over for me. I've posted pics in the past. ;o)

Alexandra, I wondered about your statement "It is my palm" in Roy's previous picture. Now I know. Love the name but I think I already complimented you in the past on it.
I think the palm is on much better position now.

That is a cute little cabin there Roy.

Klahanie,
There are loads and loads of palm seedlings every year. I could make a fortune if I sold them. ;o)

If I remember correctly.....that is Roy's "summer home"

So Alexandra, set up a roadside "palm store" :-)

It's me again sorry is it Cottagekaren I've been calling you Cottagekarer because that's how it shows up on the heading cause the last bit of the n doesn't show up, Roy.

Lol! No worries Roy!

very nice spot you have there...i would love a place like that as a studio... the palm will look good there and does...

So that's where this palm came from.

Alex, you must feel good to have this palm named after you.

I didn't realize W. robusta grew wild in Corfu, like here in San Diego. I should have guessed, though.

Yeap..........I do feel good. ;o)))))))))

W. robusta............great, Roy wanted to know the name of this palm.

Do you think he can leave it out during winter?
If anything goes wrong, he has nothing to worry about. He can always take a new seedling next spring.

My seedling is huge now.......I will take a pic of it when I clear that side of the garden of weeds.

Alexandramou:

If it doesn't get too cold, Roy's W. robusta should grow and thrive. As it grows larger, it will become hardier...and even if the fronds die-back it most likely will grow new fronds very quickly.

It very difficult to speak about cold-damage on W. robusta here in San Diego's frost-free, subtropical climate...as it would never get cold enough to damage this palm.
