Sure looks like Hedyscepe to me...Of course all mine are about a  foot tall, so I'm hardly the voice of experience.

Yep, a Heydyscepe, though the Crownshaft's a bit small.

Pauleen's are phat and phab, but that one rocks, too!

Thanks for sharing!

I've noticed that Hedycepe throws off 3 0r 4 leaves within several weeks and produces that many inflorecences. The crownshaft goes from very fat to skinny. This happens on my tree once a year and always in the late fall. I've also noticed that it takes about 2 yrs from flower to ripe seed. One other very interesting thing is the last inflorecense is all male polin flowers, unlike the first 2 or 3 that have both male and female,

Bob - 2 years from flower to ripe seed...yikes! I've  heard it took a long time.

Interesting how the last inflorescense is all male.

At what age do these palms start producing viable seed?  I just popped a 20g one, that I have had for several years, into the ground and am wondering how long before it starts producing.

Anyone have any experience with Hedies in the sun in Inland Orgy County California?

Mine look like some special dipping sauce is in their future, though they'll be shaded in the winter . . .

Dave,

I have one in the ground under 30% shade cloth.  Been there for about two years and it looks good and grows well, never any problems.  I have another in a pot, also under 30% shade cloth.  I've had that one for about a year, and it had some problems when we had one day of 44C (109F) in July.  A few leaflets turned crispy, but the plant is fine.
