The extremely rare palm is moved across England to its new home after outgrowing its glasshouse.
Transporting one of the world's most endangered plants 340 miles across England was "a bit daunting", a horticulturalist admitted.
It is commonly known as the "suicide palm" or "self-destructive palm" for its unique lifecycle of flowering itself to death, staff at the Cambridge garden said."During this flowering event, the palm uses a huge amount of energy to produce a striking inflorescence of numerous small flowers, attracting birds and insects for pollination.
On their way back from Cornwall, staff picked up a smaller replacement palm from Kew Gardens in London"The traffic was awful and we also detoured to the University of Bristol Botanic Garden to pick up some other material," said Ms Bray.
