Species and Genus please.

Nice to see a bit of innovative thinking.

Someones been "thinking outside the square".

Treelore · 22nd March 2008, 03:59 AM

Can't see picks Playford....Is that just me?

JohN Dee · 22nd March 2008, 07:50 AM

It's me aswell Treelore, I can't see any embedded pics or links

Hoot probly' popped a cap in his ass just as he was doing this

or ran a chainsaw up his leg

crucificio · 22nd March 2008, 09:04 AM

cant see pics either, is that why you bet we cant ID it? Is it the lesser known "palmus invisbles not ever spottedes"? or maybe "palmus gones"?

playfordtree · 22nd March 2008, 10:44 AM

The Easter bunny must have hidden them.

Lets see if they work now.

There we go, not sure what happened guys, but there was alcohol involed in the posting process

Genus and species please

The smaller palms look like Cocos to me.
The larger one is artificial to hide the phone transmitter?

Bloody good idea i reckon.

Some of the ones in that Youtube link are almost works of art.

Eric Frei · 22nd March 2008, 11:29 AM

Great hey, the light house was great, we got lots of the palm ones here and they even have the bunches of orange berries.

Jeff Darby · 22nd March 2008, 12:01 PM

Cellus towii.....LOL..Very good idea.

newguy18 · 23rd March 2008, 11:41 AM

That big one looks like what is known around here as a queen palm but i could be wrong.

Harrie · 24th March 2008, 04:57 AM

Here's another one.

philinsydney · 24th March 2008, 09:28 PM

Some younger specimens

playfordtree · 24th March 2008, 09:52 PM

At least you dont have to prune them.

Where's that photo from Phil?

Looks like a prison for kids with that security camera looking down.
It's the way of the world these days, bloody cameras everywhere.

If only there weren't so many d*ckheads!
We could have our privacy back.

Grizzly · 25th March 2008, 03:35 PM

HA, I've been seeing more of those arround here in the states. Only bad thing is that in may look like a tree but its one less account to land. So much for that but it is one hell of an idea.

Wet'n'Wild, Gold Coast.

philinsydney · 4th April 2008, 08:48 PM

No doubt the security camera is to stop people from stealing the parrot.

shaggs · 7th April 2008, 05:50 PM

justoon · 8th April 2008, 11:09 AM

You think the fake palm if a trip. They've been getting creative latly. those bloody old thing been poping up like weeds all over the place arround my town. There some kind of digital transmission towar and they have almost every kind of palm; even onse with skirts. White pines, magnolia trees and palms is all I've seen arround here.
