I was hoping they'd expand about how useful the parts of the Nypa palm. The leaves are used as a roofing material, the fruits are edible, the sap you can turn into vinegar, alcohol, and sugar.
Loovedd the podcast!! It’s so cool! I hope there’s more episodes soon!
Such gorgeous palms! I used to think that palms were a waste when it came to increasing fauna biodiversity in our neighbourhoods because I always saw birds choosing to nest/perch/shelter in fruit trees or flowering trees but as of late I’ve started realising how some of the most unique reptiles usually make homes at the top of palms so that they’re protected from predators. I’ve gained a whole new appreciation for palms since and it’s so cool seeing all of these in your videos! I’m surprised Fairchild doesn’t have Bismarckia nobilis in their collection though!
I know this is wishful thinking but I’d love for you to cover some plants from the Congo basin! There are so many incredible plants in the jungles of Central West Africa and because the species there of flora and fauna haven’t been studied much, it’s sort of an untapped goldmine (sadly also one of the places with the most poaching for the black market). I’ve been obsessed with the Marantochloa manni as of late and I think Fairchild has them!
A wonderful guided tour! I love this type of production Summer. Thanks for all you do!
Nypa is all over the southern vietnam mekong river…
Thank you Ms. Summer. ????????????
Stunning! Love the palm content ????
A really good look at palms and their unique structures. Exciting that there are still new and unidentified plants in the wild.
The tahina spectabilis at 09:07! Also called the self destructive palm. I was so lucky to stumble upon one at @cubotanic in a recent video tour I made. Such a special plant ????
Damn, I'm a minute and a half in and already learning about palms I've never heard of – a mangrove palm?! ???? What a great tour! ????????????
