 Planted in 1996, these palms are now some of the largest in the UK and for the last few years have fruited and produced viable seed, the first time this species of palm has been recorded doing so in the UK.Other palms growing close to the Common include "Trachycarpus fortunei", (Ladies' Mile, Rock Gardens and Rose Garden), "Chamaerops humilis" (in front of the Pyramids Centre), "Butia capitata" (in Burgoyne Gardens) and "Brahea armata", (Canoe Lake and D-Day Island).Many "Cordyline australis" are also planted in the area, though these are not true palms, but more closely related to yuccas and agaves.
