sarasota alex 224 Report post Posted March 10, 2012 I haven't contributed to this thread in a while, so... A couple of hints. Pictured is a part of an unopened inflorescence. I asked Ken Johnson a few months ago about growing this palm where I live and he said "no good". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarasota alex 224 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 Alex is your a Licuala? Not a Licuala. This one didn't grow for you either if I remember our conversation correctly. And this one doesn't like our summers. I had other pictures of the same specimen, which I photographed specifically for this thread. Can't find them.

sarasota alex 224 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 Ken I've been looking at your picture long and hard and some of the guesses that were already made were the first ones to come to mind. But with all those No's from you I have to say - Corypha umbraculifera Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
