===A Personal Experience:=== I am from Nth Qld Aussie(Tropical Climate) and I have experimented with ''Normanbyas'' for about 10 years in our area. I have approximately 15 specimens in the ground. I planted them in different light locations and in our climate. All specimens were planted in the ground from 6 inch containers. I planted 10 in full sun and they are now approximately 10 feet tall. I planted 3 in medium light conditions and they are the same height. I planted 2 in low light conditions in competition with other palms. They are about 20 feet tall, fruiting and in excellent condition. The ones in full sun have adapted well after initially struggling for about 3 years and they are also fruiting. ''Normanybyas'' are definitely more difficult to grow then say ''Wodyetias'' but in my opinion are a much more attractive palm. I have found the specimens I planted in deep mulch(kept moist) are much more robust and quicker growing(not to say I don`t keep the other ones moist). ''Normanbyas'' are extremely receptive to regular dressings of fertiliser (more so than most palms) and appear to be gross feeders, visibly responding in a matter of weeks after every application of fertiliser. A palm well worth the attempt. <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Normanbya_normanbyi04.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
