I showed these three palms last year, but they have all grown quite a bit since and now have fronds way over my head... and the two P torralyis have caught up with the P sunkha in terms of frond height, though the latter has a 1 year head start on the other two and has a larger trunk base. But here are the petioles again, just to see if they sort of make sense in terms of description.

First one is Parajubaea torralyi torralyi, then P torralyi microcarpum and lastly P sunkha:

Nice shots Geoff, but could you back away and show us the entire palms? Thanks. I agree the pictures seem to agree with the descriptions.

OK... still a tad dark this morning, but these still might turn out... Parajubaea torralyi torralyi, then Parajubaea torralyi microcarpum, and lastly P sunkha

These palms were all planted as small seedlings in 2005, though the sunkha was already getting split leaves by that point, and has always been much taller than the other two until this year. Now all about the same height in terms of frond height (about 12')

Geoff,

Thanks for the photos. Your Parajubaeas look happy. My Para T V T grows about 6 fronds a growing season. I suspect they grow faster in S. Calif. Does anyone have a P. sunkha that is larger or near flowering?

Wasnt there a sunkha posted on here earlier this year in So Cal that was flowering? I believe it was Gary's, but I dont quite remember.
