Hello
I am an ex Queenslander now living in Victoria, while living in QLD i was a collector or rare palms and other tropical plants, as well as working in the horticultral industry.

I am now planning on building a large hothouse of the side of my house here in coastal Victoria to grow some of the more hardy tropicals.

I have suprisingly seen the older C.fruticosa sp Rubra growing suprisingly well (apart from wind damage)
Glauca grows very easy here.
C. Nigra does ok in the right spot.
And the narrow leafed native variety grows like a weed.

I plan on trying some more C. fruticosa types in ground in a hot house, could people please recommend the best ones to try. Thankyou.
