Id for Phœnix

[Nico94]

Hi

could you confirm it’s Phœnix roebelenii or hybrid ?

[Steve Mac]

It looks to me as a pure roebelenii as you are going to get. 

[Phoenikakias]

Is it a female specimen?

[Nico94]

Thank you steve.

Yes , it’s female.

I got some seeds in Portugal.

But if your seeds are also pure Ph roebelenii or hybrids is another quetion. Do you know the father-palm of your future seedlings?

I thought so! As I have already explained recently in another roebelenii-related topic, there is a clear sexual dimorphism in this sp, with female specimens being more robust and having longer fronds. Yours is a good example, and this is perhaps the reason why you thought initially that it might be a hybrid. Anyway if you are interested in roebelenii hybrids, there might be an offer if roebelenii x theophrasti seeds in EPS coming winter.
