Mark Paul was too impatient to watch his trees grow. There was not time to start small, so he paid $80,000 for them to be delivered already tall. "I'm 43 years old, and that's got to be at least half way, and I can't own trees this size by trying to grow them from seedlings with the time I've got," he said. Mr Paul, an electrician, bought 20 mature palm trees from a tree nursery at Peats Ridge for the garden at his new home at Castle Hill. The lot includes two 70-year-old Canary Island date palms that are 18 metres tall. The nursery will also transplant Mr Paul's collection of cycads, a tree family with roots stretching back to the dinosaur age, from his current home at Granville. "I've had the experience of starting a garden from day one and I don't need that experience again," Mr Paul said. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/04/25/1050777407228.html
