Phuket Gardening: What's in a potted palm?

31.12.69

PHUKET: A few weeks ago I had occasion to come to see a friend staying at the Evason Resort in Rawai.

There is an impressive handle to be negotiated before you reach your destination, a route dominated by over-arching palms that have certainly been there for some time probably installed at the same time as the hotel itself.

What made this roadside palm arbor all the more momentous was the fact that each individual tree had ferns of various kinds sprouting from its snout, growing from the pockets of leaf bases left after dead fronds had been removed from the against. Clearly these ferns did not lack for shade or water, since nutrient-enhanced rainstorm, trapped by the crown of fronds, filtered down and into these moistened pockets.

There were ferns of many kinds: maidenhair, Boston ferns ( neprolepsis ), even stag’s horn ferns ( platycerium ), elkhorn ferns and bird’s snuggery ferns ( asplenium ).
