This palm was grown from seed believed to be Brahea nitida(calcarea). However, it does not exhibit the B. calcarea white underside to the leaf, the leaf looks a bit stiff for a calcarea, and there is some slight armature on the petioles, so I believe it is a different Brahea.

It was planted about a year ago, or slightly less, from a 1-gallon pot, and has put out maybe 6 new fans since then -- fast growth by my standards.

The reason it is free -- and this is very important to note -- is because Brahea are known to be sensitive to transplant. I am willing to trench for a month to six weeks, but not longer. This is taking up prime space in the garden, and I have other plants waiting in the wings.

Dig it up Kim and put it in a pot on your patio. Once it starts to grow again, and you're confident it's recovered from the transplant, then sell it. If you can't sell it you can grow it in a pot for many years.
