I've had similar markings appear on Trachycarpus fronds but the lighter coloring is yellowed and is due to cold.  I only see it after the first winter.

I've seen that a lot on some of the Copernicias. It's a really cool look. Seems to that be wax builds up in circular patterns.

I notice this on both of my Bismarks - I guess it's quite common?

It's the first one I've had do that, but it's in some shade so I was wondering if that had something to do with it?

Not sure, but mine seem to do it more out of winter.  Be interested to know if anyone knows more about this - hoping it is not some sort of deficiency.

I'm hoping that it is a deficiency, then I can make mine go like that.  :-)

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

This is probably the 6th leaf or so from winter, and the only one to rainbow so far. Would be interesting to know what causes it.

looks like just a variation in wax content on the surface.  I have seen this before on bizzies and copernicia.   Bizzies are very good in poor soil.  their environment on the plateau in madagascar is lateritic soil, very few nutrients due to long term leaching by rain.  I have never known a bizzie to have anything other than a boron deficiency, which is kind of rare as far as deficiencies go.  

Formerly in Gilbert AZ, zone 9a/9b. Now in Palmetto, Florida Zone 9b/10a??

Wow that brought back some experiences....   I guess that I did too much Saw Palmetto back in the Woodstock era!  :yay:
