I noticed this Adonidia had split a few years ago. Now it's just gone berserk. the right side split again, but the left side has 3 or more growing points. :drool: I predict the left side will fall off eventually. There is nothing above it that may have done any physical damage. Weird :hmm:

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!

Randy,

That's a first for me. I've seen a photo of a coconut tree in Kiribati that did just that. Very unusual. :unsure:

I still have not found anyone that knows for sure what causes the branching in solitary palms?

They are very curious..

Damage to the growing point does it. I know of a P roebellinii over here that some guy made deliberately. It's probably a risky business to do yourself because you may kill the whole plant. I'm not sure on the technique though, but it would involve some serious cutting into the apical meristem I would think. Maybe others have more clue on the technique to do it manually.

Best regards

Tyrone

I have seen a few double crowned palms around the place, but then this is queensland after all and having 2 heads is apparently not at all uncommon.

Would a double headed palm be classified as a clustering palm in the garden of Peachy?

Just curious? laugh.gif
