strange date palm

Recommended Posts

strange date palm I saw this afternoon, stopped in at a local place that is under construction and they had two of these dates, but none of the construction people there knew anything, will have to try and catch the owner and see where they came from and what exactly they are

I have seen lots of reclinatas with the pups removed, they look slim date palms.

May be reclinata, may be rupicola. But i think is reclinata.

From the spikes I guess also reclinata. A close-up of spikes and petiole may prove helpful.

Also looks Reclinata to me.

...those orange boots, thin trunk.

Pups on reclinata throw out below soil level, perhaps they were cut.

I am far from a qualified expert but i think it may have some sylvestris in its lineage ... looking at the root base its not been trimmed and no pups are or evidence of pups...

No other offshoots in the clump? Can you observe whether they are regularly removed by humans? (ie stumps, cutting spots, new green growths, where previously an offshoot had been removed...)

Imo it can be a reclinata or at least it has very much of reclinata.

I'm agree.

The spikes (and petioles as well) look to me stouter than on my own specimen.

True, more shorter and wider.

They are growing in full sun and very bad soil(white clay). They grow sloooooow.

can you share a trunk pic of yours?
