Hi I am looking for a tree which I saw in Thailand. Its leaves look like banana leaves and its trunk look like a fan. It was grown on the coast areas of Thailand ie Pattaya, Hua Hin or Chonburi provinces. I would like to know the science name and common name of it. Also I was wondering if I could grow it in Sydney, Australia and where I can buy it. Hope someone can help me. thank you very much.

Sounds like the piece of crap travellers palm that killed a kid in Port Douglas not long ago.

I have a big bunch of these to remove soon, the stump grind is the killer, like a white bog of mush!
