The self seeded palm tree we decided to try to grow before we had to move out for the house renovation is now one year older, a bit taller and looking more like a little palm tree. Left hand picture is the tree a year ago and the right hand one is the tree this evening.

Tony (the neighbour) has a 40 foot Canary Island Palm in his front garden. This palm tree seedling was one of the many we kept having pop up in the garden. Not sure that any seeds will have survived the turmoil of the renovation but at least so far one 'baby' is still thriving, despite having to live in a pot on the walled balcony.

So far of all the plants we decided to bring with us in pots, only one has given up and turned into feed for the others.

You can also see to the right of the palm in the right hand picture, our Citizenship trees, still producing little yellow flowers and so far doing well.
