In the 1980s a new species of palm was discovered in far North Queensland. In order tp protect the wild trees from poachers, many trees were grown and passed to local governments to plant in parks and to nurseries for sale to the public.
In thr 1980s the bright red seeds were worth $50 each. Now they are ignored as they rot on the ground in the car park.
It is still a beautiful palm with lovelly seeds.
