It would be nice if we all could post some pictures of the Palms we see when we drive around our places.

Here are a few pictures taken on my way to the beach...

Gileno!

Great picture!

Give us more.  

We're palm-starved here in the Untied States of 'Murka.

So, when are you coming to visit again?

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!

Bill:

These are also Acrocomias, from the local native variety known as Acrocomia intumescens (Macaíba).

The mature trunks for this subspecies are always enlarged and not so spiny as the other Acrocomias. The fruit is big and has a thin edible mesocarp. They were introduced in landscape here in the 50's by Roberto Burle Marx, and are often found along the avenues of Recife today. Very fast growing and appreciated palms here.

Gileno,

The very small relative diameter lower trunk of the Acrocomia intumescens looks stucturally precarious. Do these palms ever snap off at ground level during high winds?
