Impressive. Do you still have any?

Most I assume have moved on to other people.

Cheers Steve

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

The only palm from that time I still own is my Chamaerops bonsai which was grown up from seed in 1986:

And two (*1972) of the five Chamaedorea elegans are now at home by friends near Frankfurt/M, this year becoming 47 years old. Other palms are in botanical and zoological gardens, but almost all I had given away to friends are … :violin:

Here one of my Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, now in the Botanical Garden of the University of Bochum:

Very impressive list for 1987!  That was my first year out of college and the only palm I had back then in Georgia was a potted Phoenix roebelenii which I eventually planted in the ground in 2004.  Is this photo below really Chamaerops humilis?  Unless it's an unusual form or just elongated leaves from being inside - I've never seen a Chamaerops humilis seedling with such long Syagrus-like strap leaves!  Nice looking seedling though!  :)

Nice one Pal.  That looks like the same plant that you had posted in another thread where the red trunk fibres were being attacked by a squirrel!  :lol:

Inspiring pictures of your potted palms! How did you find Jubaea chilensis to be, growing wise? Slow to mature? I'm hoping to start some from seed soon. ^_^

Jubaea is a very slow grower as seedling, it needs always full sun if it should develop a healthy habit.
