... noted by Zona and Maidman (2001), reference books may give palm growth rates in relative terms, such as "slow" or "moderately fast," but actual growth rates are seldom reported. In interpreting the growth rates given in Table 1, the caveats of Zona and Maidman (2001) must apply. First, these growth rates are lifetime average. ...

... The plant grows at a rate of about 0.6-0.9 m per year, but if well-watered, the palms reach annual growth rates of 1.8m, at least in the early stages [48][49][50] . Not well-watered W. robusta are on record as reaching 20m height in under 30 years [51] . ...
The aim of this document is to pull together the historic and pictorial evidence for the palm plantation at the western end of Dean Street, Albury (New South Wales) and to provide an assessment of the extent of self-seeded specimens in that planting
... Only two palms are known to be native to and extant in Greece: Chamaerops humilis L. and Phoenix theophrasti Greuter (see also Georgi et al. 2005). However, the Cenozoic history of palm evolution in Greece includes other palm types, some of them first described here as petrified wood remains. ...
The paper reports a palaeoxylotomical study of petrified palm remains (stem, root, rachis) collected from some fossil sites of Greece (Evros, Lemnos, Lesbos and Kastoria) aged to the late Oligocene to early Miocene. Five species of Palmoxylon were identified: P. daemonoropsoides (Unger) Kirchheimer, corr., P. chamaeropsoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov., P. coryphoides Ambwani et Mehrotra, P. sabaloides Greguss, P. trachycarpoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov. and P. phoenicoides Hofmann. Also found were two species of Rhizopalmoxylon ( R. daemonoropsoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov., R. phoenicoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov.) and Palmocaulon sp. aff. Phoenix L. These new identifications add new elements to the forest assemblages of the Oligocene–Miocene Greek flora, useful for understanding the evolution of the Cenozoic palaeoclimate in the Aegean area.
