Split in Royal trunk - what’s this about?

Hi again! My one Royal that’s doing well has been a rocket - put out about 2 feet of spear in the past 6 weeks. I just noticed today that what used to be more of a thin crack has split open. Anyone know what’s going on and if this is cause for concern? Thanks!

Split Kentia successfully. Photo.

How? Cut in half? Put the root ball in water and separate the roots? They measure more than two meters, I suppose that with the very formed root ball. Chances of success? Thanks!

Split leaf
by Phoenikakias- 1 reply
- 978 views
So far I have seen in this forum pictures of split leaves from various palms like Dypsis and Jubaeopsis. Here is a picture of another one from my Allagoptera. Do we know what causes such a split; is it a preliminary sign of future forking of the whole plant? As much as I can recall such split is known only on pinnate fronds, but there are also fan palms which eventually divide from a single to double or more plants such as Trithrinax campestris or Nannorrhops ritchiana, but I have not seen yet any split palmate leaf. Does anyone know more details on this issue?

Split main branch on a triple adonidia palm tree
by Larry Gomez- 2 replies
- 680 views
I have a triple adonidia palm that was in a large 20" pot that became root bound and cracked the pot and fell over. The smallest of it's single branches got cracked. It is still half attached and seems strong. Can it be mended and kept alive to grow or should the entire trunk be cut off? I don't know how to attach photos from my computer to this post.

Split rachis
by Brian_K- 4 replies
- 873 views
My cat palm has been putting out new leaves, no problems there. But the rachis is split vertically part way down. So instead of a single rachis with a regular feather appearance there is a second set of pinnae. I thought maybe its just another spear growing out at the same time, but they are fused together. The rachis is unusually thick as well. Not all of the new leaves are forked. None of the older leaves are. Could this just be stress?

Split Trunk.......No worry
by Mike Evans- 1 reply
- 435 views
I ran across this Palm (Veitchia sp?) in south Florida. The trunk was completely split down the middle, all the way to the ground. Yes, you can see straight through the trunk. Looks like it has been growing this way for awhile. No signs of other stress such as lightning strike and growing in protected area. Looking up at the crown, the palm looks very healthy. There is always hope if you have a cracked trunk.

I got this big ole microspadix today, and I am wondering if I can turn it into multiple plants by using a sawzall to divide the roots? I’m alright to lose a few canes in the process - good idea or bad? Picture posting horizontal again - no idea why!

Splitting Dypsis ?!?
by palmcurry- 11 replies
- 1.1k views
Recently I was in San Juan, PR and spotted these palms outside a walgreens store. I am 99% sure that they are Dypsis because of the petioles but then again the trunks look more like another species. I've never heard of Dypsis palms splitting and having multiple crownshafts. But I'm still a rookie. Have you ever seen this splitting in palms before?

Hello, today I receive a Ravenea Rivularis... 3 palms in one pot. The Rivularis are about 120 cm tall. I am not sure, shall I splitt the Plants each in one pot or not?

Splitting Triangle

- 875 views
Hi all, So many tabs, buttons and gizmos to play with here..... overwhelmed. However my triangle needs help I think. It is 7 years from seed and has been growing nicely until lately when it is showing the cracks in the trunk. Is this due to a soil deficiency? How can I help it or at least help to prevent more cracking or splitting? Any advice would be appreciated. Jim

Splurging on Palm Purchase 1 2 3
by Jim in Los Altos- 1 follower
- 96 replies
- 5.8k views
I'm curious to know the single most expensive palm purchase any of you have made and if you're happy or disappointed with that decision. My most expensive palm is a common queen, of all things, but a big 35 year old that I had craned into position four and a half years ago in a place that I was too impatient for a big, mature palm. It cost me $1,000.00 including its installation. Notice in the picture that the younger queens nearby (planted from 15 gallon cans at the same time) are catching up to the big old one. I'm still glad for the purchase. I don't regret the purchase of any palm, dead or alive now.

Spontaneous natural jubaea x queen hybrids??? 1 2
by Mauna Kea Cloudforest- 2 followers
- 40 replies

A batch of jubaea seedlings included a number of oddball jubaea that look like they have a different species for the pollen donor. Parent female tree is unknown, lost in the shuffle, but possible sources include San Diego Mission Bay trees and Monterey Bay trees. They are also 3x the speed of the regular jubaea. Obviously this was not an intentional cross. I have at least a dozen of these. Here's my guess: it almost looks like queen father. It doesn't look like butia is the parent, and butia would be an unlikely spontaneous donor since there just aren't many butia around, but there are thousands of eager queen palm pollen donors. Any thoughts? Petioles are 100% unarme…

spontaneous palms
by doranakandawatta- 1 follower
- 6 replies
- 701 views
It seems to me we are very lucky since this palm came by himself; Talipot, (once the emblem of Ceylon), Corypha umbraculifera. The fact tells the history of the village, we are close to the area called Thalgawatta; "Talipot garden" . And someone reminds us it has been a huge line of Talipot palms there, and villagers were used to work with the leaves. Maybe 3 years ago, an old pam died in the next garden, I ignore how one seed came in our garden but squirrels or monkeys are also living there.

Spot light: Burretiokentia's
by LJG- 27 replies
- 2k views
I was out today taking pics of some things people requested and figured I would post some shots of two of my Burretiokentia's. These things have been doing great and are one of the palms that are still deep green and healthy looking through winter. Here is a shot of my Burretiokentia vieillardii. This was purchased in May of 2007 from Rancho Soledad after the freeze killed my smaller one. This thing has put out 3 - 4 new fronds a year and added 1 foot of trunk in 2 years. I think it loves where it is at. It gets morning sun and is protected from a large CIDP. Since I am afraid to trim CIDPs due to Fusarium, I only do it once every 3 or 4 years. It is time but for now …

Spot selection in my garden for Sabal miamiensis
by Phoenikakias- 7 replies
- 341 views
I have two small specimens, which I want to ground plant. So far they grow im my cold frame, where they stay in a moist semi shaded corner. Miamiensis has proved more tolerant of overhead irrigation and high air moisture than Sabal etonia. Provided if course that what I have are truely miamiensis. So I am wondering, whether those two plants could prosper in shade under the canopy of my developing Sabal causiarum.
