I spotted this Phoenix hybrid at Busch Gardens last week. It has a large canariensis-type crown but a slender trunk like rupicola.

Come on Rick, you know that chicken leg look is out. That tree needs to do some weighted lunges and ease up on the crown presses. Curls are for the girls.

That looks like it might be a full-blooded rupie, Kimosabe . . . .

That thin trunk, the shiny leaves, with leaflets all on one plane, slightly droopy pinnae.

My observation is that hybrids are denser, heavier and more plumose, reflecting the CIDP parent.

That said, that is a lot darker green than the Rupies I'm used to. I know that a lot of plants in Florida are greener than they are here in Cali, Dypsis lutescens and Syagrus schizo- to name two.

Beautiful, whatever it is . . . .

Any seeds?

Hello,

That is a good Phoenix hybrid :)! I love it!

It is a (Phoenix canariensis X rupicola) or a (Phoenix canariensis X roebelenii) ... ??

Have you got any picture of the trunk ?

Since it is in Florida, it is probably a hybrid crossed with another hybrid.

Looks like roebelenii and canariensis. Got the thin roebelenii trunk and a more canariensis type crown.
