Hello all…I saw these two trees that I think are Livistonas, but which is which?

Tree #1 is the same height as Tree# 2, but is half the size in the trunk and petiole arming.

I was guessing #1 is  L.rotundifolia , but #2? A guess there would be L.saribus?

Oh heck, I suppose it doesn’t matter….i want both of them!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Rusty

#1 could be L. australis. The base of the older frond butts should be a brownish color, if it is.

Do you have a pick of the frond on that one Rusty?

I agree on #2. Looks like saribus.

The fronds in the last pic (and first) don't look like L. australis to me.

L. australis tend to be a bit droopy towards the ends of the leaflets. The one pictured is keeping them up and pretty much in one plane. Could be rotundifolia as you, and MattyB, have thought.

The only reason I said that is because the flora looks rotund. :)

Took these at lunch of my australis (sorry about the finger  :P ).

Noticed the leaf tips don't droop as much as I thought they did, but the leaves are very deeply divided.

Fronds for #1 in question do not appear that deeply divided.

The first one looks like rotundifolia or robinsoniana to me.
