Comments and Curiosities

"This is a mystery palm that has been in the collection since the early 1990's. It has been called Licuala sp. 'Fairchild' since Jeff collected the seed from a damaged palm during the Hurricane Andrew cleanup of 1992. The palm in the Fairchild garden was labeled just 'Licuala sp.'. The palm in the yard has finally set some seed so the legacy continues." (Ryan D. Gallivan. Searle Brothers Nursery Florida.)
