ID this tree - palm??

John O · 21st February 2011, 11:03 AM

Hi Guys and Girls,
Could somebody please help to identify this tree? I'll be honest and say I know nothing at all about trees and have just recently moved to Berowra, NSW.

This tree (which I beleive is a Palm tree) is now producing fruit, which (I assume) possums and/or bats are getting into.

I would like to get this tree removed and will engage an arborist for this, however from reading Hornsby councils tree preservation policy, I'm not sure if I will be able to.

Any advice would be appreciated!

thanks,

John O
