I'll leave them to the next cyclone although I suppose they'll fall on my roof.

What did they do to be classified as a weed? (other than dropping stuff everywhere and have roots that run to China)

Oh...the fact that cockroaches breed like cockroaches in the frond bases, that bird, fruitbats and possums love the fruit and spread the seed all through bushland areas, and they have a nasty habit of hanging onto their fronds and you can't tell when one is going to fall on your head, moreso than other palms anyway.

Went shopping for trees again today and found a label that caught my attention. They must have made this one for astronomers. Plus it only grown to 3 metres. I bought two. It's yet another varient of the Lilly Pilly.
