'Lisa' like Wasgintonia Robusta?

Recommended Posts

I've never seen a Washintonia Robusta that looked like this before so I thought I'd share it with you here. It reminds me of Sabal Palmetto 'Lisa'

Compare to regular robusta, growing in close proximity:

Ever considered the possibility first specimen being a hybrid (or a hybrid even closer to latter) with filifera? Leaves look quite pleated and, far as my knowledge reaches, this feature is much more outlined on filifera than robusta.

That did cross my mind, however I've never seen a filibusta that looked like this either. Unless of course they're variable and this one expressed more filifera genes. Does anyone know of a filibusta that looks like this?

If with 'filibusta' we call every single specimen with mixed genes, then the possible forms are innumerous and thus why not also this particular one!

Looks like regular robusta to me.

I suppose it's a Filibusta variant. Thanks for all of the input guys. I thought it looked cool.

I think it looks a bit "Lisa-like" for what its worth.

I did not look close enough at the pictures first go round. Downside of multi-tasking. I can definitely see the Lisa-like color striations in the leaves, and some filfera traits as well.

You can tell by the bases of the leaf petioles near the trunk with a bit of brown in them. Robustas are real brown. Filiferas are bright green, no brown.
