i was planting this palm which i bought from dave in socal as "c.radicalis(tree form)" when i noticed it appears to be "branching" from

the newest petiole.not really a "forked" or dichotomous branching,the second petiole runs more parallel to the 1st.is this common?

Picture423.jpg

it occurs just after the 3rd leaflet up the petiole.

i am holding on to the "branch."

i talked to mattyb about this & he said it is weird,so if its a total "newbie" move

blame him :lol:

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Paul, dewd, that's like TÖTALLY RAD . . . .

Ahem.

Gonna race out into the garden and see.

I think yours is just a bit of a weirdo. It'll be interesting to see if it produces any more "dweezils" like that.

Weird stuff. Reminds me of this plumeria leaf I had last year (that's a very tiny leaf growing under a regular size leaf):

I have an elephant ear doing the same thing this year. I need to get a picture of it.

I've never had any do that, but I have noticed strange behaviour with radicalis. I have one that produce a really small leaf, about a quarter of the size of previous leaves, then the next leaf was normal size again. I have another that, after having produced pinnate leaves for several month, decided to produce a bifid leaf, but again the next leaf was normal.

Paul's picture taking skills leave lot's to be desired. Tom's pic of his plumeria is a good example of what Paul's palm is doing. A second leaf right off of the rachis. There dosen't appear to be a growing point, just another leaf. If you got it from Dave, he probably peed on it too many times and made it mutate. He said he likes to pee on his palms remember?

Paul, I think it's one of those things that just happens.

On the other hand, if it keeps doing that . . .

Finally got a chance to shoot the elephant ear I have doing a similar thing. I actually have two different plants doing the same thing. I wonder if it's something in the soil. :hmm::mrlooney:
