The Syagrus which wanted to be a Roystonea

Recommended Posts

This Syagrus from Brazil thought that he/she was tired already of being just a simple Syagrus and evolved into a Roystonea. :lol:

I also found this pic which I posted few years ago here in Palmtalk, within a field of the east coast of Spain. Those Syagrus look pretty cool too:

Those ones also have a bit of a Roystonea feeling, isn't it? Not sure how they look nowadays. But that Brazilian one (1st pic) is just epic !

Another Roystonea looking Syagrus. Add some green at the top of the trunk and it can perfectly pass as one. :P

Sometimes I see here S.romanzoffiana with really massive trunks. I´ve seen some with even fatter trunks then this posted above.

Going along with this thread, I saw this pair in front of a club/bar just south of Clermont, FL on U.S. 27. It seems very obvious in the close up picture, but from the highway, they kind of look the same and I had had to do a double take to realize they were a queen and a royal.
