So I decided to step out of my house on this hot day and snap some pics of tropicals. This is on the river and less than a mile from the ocean on the barrier island. I'm new to 'palming' so I'm still unfamiliar with a lot of palms, so please asset me with some identifications.

In your second set of photos, those palms are foxtails.

Cool! Thank you, I have a hard time distinguishing between foxtails and juvenile royals.

The shiny tree is a magnolia. That palm you said the looks like a bottle in the latest groups of photos looks like a spindle palm (related to the bottle palm).

Yes those were dypsis decaryi, or triangle palms.

Sweet thanks! Any idea what the plant in-between the two dypsis is in the fourth set of pics?

It's pretty wide where I live, the southern end of the island, I live about a mile from the St.Lucie county line. A little less than a mile from the beach, and directly on the river.

Many of JeevesJank's questions remain unanswered and I am curious too about the following of his photos:

- the non-palm with 100 glued-together trunks forming a single trunk. It's the one that had a trunk almost like a banyan tree. ID?

- the photo of the tall palm with the ultra-skinny trunk. Is that a ptychosperma elegans? ID?

- the tree that JeevesJank was calling a Norfolk Pine, but he wasn't sure. I am fmiliar with those trees, but I don't know what they are called. When you get close to them and touch them, their leaves are surprisingly like rubber....almost like succulent leaves. ID?

Thanks.

Great photos. I know at first it takes awhile to learn names but you get the hang of it after awhile. When I first moved down here I could barely tell the difference between a foxtail, a royal, and a queen. These represent easily 90+% of all palms seen in this part of the state. So learning is a great start.

Awesome thank you so much! I had familiarized myself with the palms I'd see in California, but this area of Florida is a whole different ballgame!

Thanks for pointing that out, I was afraid I'd never get my questions answered!

I've asked for an ID on several times on those pines. The two you mentioned and the norfolk are the usual answers. No consensus yet, maybe it's a hybrid.

I know, I'm pretty stoked! I lived in SoCal before, and it was OK but Florida has so much more variety. I'm amped that I found this forum, it's good to be here.

Try planting some 10b plants like coffee and noni to see how they grow?

Wild coffee grows here. I haven't seen noni. I see almond trees, rubber trees, fruiting julie mango trees and my neighbor even has two jackfruit trees. By my house, I'll try to get a picture, there's a sheltered Lipstick Palm in the ground.
