Not Prestoea.

Both parents are medium sized palms from Madagascar.

Nick's right, it's a Ravenea hybrid. Wanna take a guess at the species Nick?

Matt, care to share which hybrid that was? For the record I have never grown a Ravanea! No harm, no foul!

Ok Nick, your slackin'...I'll get this game going.

Naaa-aaame that palm!

OK, for some closure to my seedling it's R. glauca x R. hildebrandii. R. glauca is the mother/seed plant. These seeds came from Gary Levine shortly after the fires happened and he didn't have time to mess with them. BS Man and I are germinating a couple of them and I've given one back to Gary now so he can grow his baby up. Thanks Gary.

I couldn't think of a Livistona that is that deeply cut that's not L. decora.

Is it L. mariae? Just a wild guess.
