Tom in Tucson 227 Report post Posted March 2, 2012 Here are pics of my no windows form. The lawn chair for scale. It's overall height is 7'. Randy Yours look more like some very nice alfredii. I think no-window/coastal form is a lot more yellow, and has much stiffer shuttlecock "badminton birdie" crown of leaves. Very nice! I agree with you Dave about this being an alfredii. Too bad the juvenile leaves have been removed - the windows would be a positive ID of alfredii. High 60F, Low 48F Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this pic you can see the windows it grew out of. It's the palm in the lower left side of the pic Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm impressed by it's speed and good looks. I've got to buy some more of this species. I hope it "kicks ass" in sales volume and replaces the ubiquitous queen and majesty (Ravenea rivularis) palms from the "big box" stores.
