Greetings,

   I am visiting and working at Corpus Christi, and found these palms.  They survived snow here this last month.  I want one!  Can you tell me what they are?  I suspected a bygeneric hybrid (attractive example) vs beccariophoenix vs ?? (from the reading on this site I have done).  Thanks for your comments.

Yeah, Ravenea rivularis for sure. Go to Lowe's or the Home Depot near you in spring and you can pick them up in 5 gallon containers for $15.00.

And if you can plant yours further apart, ultimately when older they will look better. It is a very large palm, trunk about 18" wide, fronds probably about 12' long and eventually 50' tall. 100' in Madagascar. And they need lots of water.  

Cheers Steve

It is not dead, it is just senescence.
