Happy 25th Birthday PACSONZ
The Palm and Cycad Society of New Zealand will be 25 in June 2008 and to celebrate we will be having a special meeting at Landsendt. Back Issues are 2 for the price of 1. And a page has been set up to look back on some past features of the magazine. Details of all this can be found here.
Seed to Elegance by Kevin Williams is available now by clicking here
This beautifully presented book is now available from PACSONZ. It details the history of Howea forsteriana, the Kentia palm, as well as telling the reader how seed and plants are produced for the world market, and much more. Available here.
The Nikau Palm
We are currently compiling a new section on Nikau palms (Rhopalostylis) which will have a large amount of photos added of Nikau from around New Zealand, over the coming weeks.
To view the Nikau sections, just click here
Also inside this site you will find all manner of information regarding palms and cycads in New Zealand. We try to emphasise what palms can grow in the New Zealand climate, and what conditions they need to do so. Our Inventory is full of that information.
There's also plenty of foreign content, as well as a general Information section you may find very useful.
The Society
The Palm and Cycad Society of NZ (PACSONZ) was formed in 1983. Today it has members throughout the country, is affiliated to the International Palm Society, and is associated with many other related societies worldwide.
Meetings are held monthly and members can hear guest speakers, share information, and exchange and sell plants. We also run a seedbank for the purchase of imported seeds, run a library, and manage special events in New Zealand and abroad throughout the year.
Check What's On for details of meetings, events, and other specials.
