If, like me, Colin Campbells recent GA segment on palms left you gobsmacked, you may have gone on a search for the palm with the incredible growth rate (an inch per hour in the growing season) featured in the segment. Pigafetta Filaris (aka the Wanga palm) isnt a name I recognised, and reading the Palm and Cycad Society's summary of the species made me realise why its not likely to appear at your local nursery anytime soon. Nature is a cruel mistress :)

Cheers,
