I was at Freedom Park in Naples, FL today. Supposedly they removed all invasive plants & replaced them with all natives. This isn't a young Roystonea, is it? It is kind of glaucus & reminds me of Dypsis decaryi though. I hope this one shot is enough for someone to be able to tell.

Looks like it could be a Dypsis deceipiens to me…but it could be any number of large slow growing Dypsis types bit hard to tell from just that pic.

Looks like a Pseudophoenix ekmanii, nice size one too.

This isn't no Roystonea or Decipiens or Pseudo. It does look like a D. decaryi though. Another picture from a different angle would really help. I was just in Naples earlier this afternoon at the zoo. Their starting to add some nice, fairly rare species in the landscape. I saw Licuala peltata var. Sumawongii, Areca macrocalyx Red Crown, Aiphanes spp. Pinanga coronata, a nice Calyptrcalyx sp. Boalak and others.

I don't think the photo can make for a conclusive ID.  I understand why several people are thinking D. decaryi, but if they supposedly replaced all invasive plants with natives, then P. sargentii just makes sense.  The palm looks a bit stretched to me from not being in all day sun.  Even the silver buttonwood around it is not very full which tells me that this area only gets partial sun exposure.  Any way you can go back to this park and take another pic of the entire palm?

Oh yes, this is close to where I work. I'll get more pictures tomorrow. The thing I love more than a good mystery is a good mystery solved!!

I found myself poking around for an i.d. tag then remembered, I wasn't at a botanical garden :blush:

Too cool! Do their palms come from you or were just just visiting the lil ole' Naples Zoo? I used to have a membership & go once a week during my lunch break (not far from my place of work or the park where this mystery palm is located) but then it got a bit boring seeing the same thing all the time but it sounds like there have been quite a few changes in the couple years I have not been. I need to go again soon to see the palms, not the animals (most of who seem to pace in their enclosures :crying:)

Unfortunately I discovered this palm is surrounded by thick & annoying macho ferns. It is also surrounded by a fairly tall stone wall that I tried to jump to push away the fern for better pics but I just ended up tearing up my shin (which I should have assumed would happen anyhow because you can't very well jump a tallish wall ladylike while wearing a pencil skirt.)

One side of the plant is in blasting sun, the other side is shaded (the side my original photo shows).

With these details, it seems it's not Dypsis decaryi, but Pseudophoenix?

I was thinking Pseudophoenix sargentii, but hard to be completely sure from the angle of the pic.

Nice call Tim. Well, if anyone has the eye, it would be somebody like you from Key West.
