I would like to know what type of palms Miami Dade planted at their InterAmerican campus on SW 8 St and 27th Ave in Little Havana? They look similar to Dypsis lutescens but have a much greener trunk. I am attacking a link to Google Street view where they are visible if you zoom in.

If you know of where I can purchase this palm in Miami please let me know as well. Thanks!

Thank you Kinz and Jurt.

Do you know if I can buy just one or two at a nursery? I wish I had the money and space to buy them wholesale...they are beautiful!

I believe that is Dypsis cabadae, similar to pembana but holds the green trunk longer and has a slightly less messy look.

Good eye, Chris. I think you're right. I was looking at those straight green leaves up top, and the greenish crownshaft. But looking at the recurve on the left side plant, and the scale of the trunks against the building, that's cabada

Dypsis pembana is a tougher, cold hardier species than cabadae. Its trunks are thicker and it clumps more sparsely. I have both and cabadae is a wimp by comparison.

Since this old query has been resurrected, I'm pretty sure that those are thinned plain old Chrysalidocarpus lutescens, not cabadae and not pembana.

I thought about that too.   I don’t think it’s Pembana, but I do think it could be sun whipped Cababae, which explains why they are so beat up.    It you take a Google stroll around to the shady side of the building they look like this.  They could be Lutescens, but I think they’d have more suckers and be even worse looking and yellowed   They look better here in that shade.

Here’s some Lutescens from around the corner too..
