According to "Palms in Australia" by David Jones (first published 1984)
there are examples of the nikau palm growing in the Melbourne, Adelaide,
Sydney and Brisbane botanic gardens. So it is here in Oz already. I
can't imagine a botanic garden culturing a "problem plant".

I've found mentions in Gardening Australia & Burkes Backyard factsheets.
I'm wondering if it is more to do with breeders rights than quarantine
issues.
