Many thanks Len,

Sounds like a perfect choice for me! I ordered two 2 mtr high plants; now I
am going to ask for another 2.
Hopefully they will provide some shade for my fry pan-like yard (full sun
for sure) and maybe chase 'keekukoo' grass away.

Regards,

Andr0

g'day andro,

you can plant them closer tohether if you want they then tend to grow
with that coconut palm look you know grow away from each other a bit
then curve up looks great.

i've never found alex' roots to be invasive, 3 meters will be fine you
could go for 2 even its just that if the frond touch the house the
palm will angle away a little, and alex fronds aren't heavy like the
royals.

can't see any problems occuring along the fence line.
