Yes - I realised that you meant the 1880s.

The cordylines do well in the parts of the UK washed by the gulf stream - you very rarely see them inland. They are known as 'Torquay palms' in the south of England.

Every Easter time we have to explain to the children at church that the palm trees in Jerusalem had different shaped leaves!
