      Is this the palm that I remember seeing in Los Cristianos, Tenerife which was being plagued by a caterpillar / moth invasion (about 10 years ago) ?

      It was my chrimmy pressie of mrs al, £75 so quite a bargain! It was from a nursery about 10 miles from me. They do have a few, the dearest being 195 and its about twice the size!

          Hi mum,
          Yes, it's been out, no covers or nuffink! It's that new plastic rattan type thingy so no fading and weatherproof.

            Nice. I bet Santa struggled with that down the chimney - it won't need sweeping again for some time. :snork:
