Any Idea what Palm this is?

[xoRudy]

Hey ya'll,  Quick question here. Anyone know what Palm I have growing? I know its a Washingtonia, but which one? Is it too early to tell? Robusta, Filifera, or Filbusta?

Probably robusta, or small possibility of filibusta if you have both in close proximity around you? Definitely not enough threads for filifera. From the beginning, the leaves are covered in masses of those threads (hence the name "fili-fera"), and it's a very good diagnostic for that species. Another good, if slightly less useful, diagnostic is the shade of green in the leaf. A rich, medium green (about like yours) generally indicates robusta...where a light/pale, very slightly glaucous green indicates filifera. Those filibustas are going to be somewhere in the middle, most likely. If you have large, adult specimens of both species around you, look at the two together and you'll see that difference in the color of the crown.

I'm leaning more towards Filibusta. I do see robusta in it. With some more time it'll be easier to identify.

That red at the base of the petiole means robusta. as filifera are all green. There’s always a chance that it gas some filifera in it but it looks like robusta to me.

I’d say filibusta too; pure robustas are really red brown at the bases, instead of the hint of red this one has.

I'll deviate from the pack here. It's a robusta pure and simple.

That one looks mostly robusta to me as well.

P.S., I have given up trying to disambiguate mine as "robusta" or "filibusta". All I know, is that all the pure filiferas seem to eventually die out in a my humid/rainy summer climate.

The red coloring also varies from environmental conditions. If shaded and stretched filifera will also show some red coloration. If in close to full sun they will show no coloration.
