Wait till Jim sees all these tree ferns 😯 😯 😀
"they have a gazillion of these tree ferns, though- all over the hillsides. and growing in the ditches are hydrangeas, agapanthus, aloes, and all sorts of other stuff."

They stopped in at a nursery to ask why there weren't palms growing all over the place and were told "we get too much frost"!!!!
Rotorua is at 38 Slatitude 😐

The nursery has a lot of Queen palms, yet friends didn't see any growing in gardens outside the nursery:

Nice!
I finally found some C.Brownii(the one that gets 20'+ fronds)for sale
so I will order a few for this year-hopefully the rains will return or it will be another fizzle fest.

Friends have moved to the coast and found palms there.
Obviously quite the difference in that 1,000 foot elevation change from inland.
Looks to be a Butia?
Haven't ever seen a var. capitata QUITE THIS BLUE...wow!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

CIDP, is my guess. 😀
I like the way you posted the street view. 😉

I thought that too.
But when considering how a Jubaea chilensis grows OUT horizontally, with very little space between petiole bases, that palm just seemed to have too many leaves for a CIDP.
the way you posted the street view
I know HOW you wanted to view the link, but can never remember which selection DID work. 😆 😆
Will get it eventually.
NZ is so beautiful, yet so different from the extremes that Australia endures.
I suppose eventually people get over the fact they're living on an island 😉

The two top pics reminds me of southern Cali. But I think I would rather see NZ. 😉

I really like those Tree Ferns. It must have taken a long time for them to get that much trunk.
