Hello - I recently impulsively bought two Salak palms (listed as Salacca zalacca) and I have two questions
1) Am I delusional that I think I can get them to grow in Brisbane, Australia? I do not believe my variety is the highland one but it only reaches freezing only 1-2 nights a year and never below.
2) Has anyone heard about their tolerance to being watered with greywater? Bananas handle it fine. It seems like an easy way to keep the moisture up when the temperature rises before the wet season.
Also - I know I'll need more plants to increase my chances of fruit but those were the only two available. I'll probably try to source some seeds to grow more.
Thanks for your input!
