        I can't believe i looked up face palm. Here's my vote for you!

          Lol…at least youre honest and have a sense of humour

    Cycad. A very mature one at that. They can go for a bit of money if they are well maintained and professionally relocated.

      Thanks! I wonder where I can sell it :)

        Put it on Gumtree

      I thought so too. People may pay good money for this, especially as its in the front yard with easy access for a digger or something of that ilk.

  • kywst on 08/03/2016 - 13:53

    Try calling some local nurserys. They may or may not be interested. Your one is mature but not well maintained. Worth a shot though. At the very least I'm sure someone would dig it out for the plant as payment. Gumtree another option, especially if they aren't common in your area.

    • D6C1 on 08/03/2016 - 14:01

      I guess. I dont know their value or how to look after them. I pick off the dead layers once in a while.

      • kywst on 08/03/2016 - 14:16

        They are susceptible to insect/bug infestation and nutrient deficiencies resulting in yellowing foliage and poor head development. There are plenty of guides on maintenance and if it has a bug problem there are readily available solutions at your local garden center.

        They are abundant in QLD and fairly common in NSW also.

        Edit: yours is likely a Sago Palm.

        • D6C1 on 08/03/2016 - 14:29

          Yeah i am in Sydney. So its a Sago then?

        • kywst on 08/03/2016 - 14:33

          @D6C1: there are over 300 varieties of Cycad. Out of my league there but if I were to have a stab … Yeah.

    If you are in WA it looks like a very old ZAMIA.

    Grow in the wild in south west WA

    Took about 15 seconds to load that image. Nice work ONEDRIVE.

    • kywst on 08/03/2016 - 16:03

      Not bad given a user base of >1,000,000 sharing just OneDrive.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/03/2016 - 16:16

      Almost instant for me….

      • kywst on 08/03/2016 - 16:21

        Highly dependent on ISP routing/optimisation. I know with my ISP to expect approx 10-20 kb/s for outlook attachment downloads and OneDrive seems to be about the same. Gmail will plod along at a couple of hundred KB/s. Probably Conroy's great Australian firewall … (not being serious)

      • scotty on 08/03/2016 - 17:53

        I think it also depends on whether your browser already has majority of OneDirve assets cached (CSS, Javascripts, etc).

    • D6C1 on 08/03/2016 - 18:40

      You have a slow connection ;)

    Cycad
