Attractive or unattractive may be in it's position

[Steve Mac]

Or it may be from where you look at it from, see this poor old Ch. woodsoniana which has lost it's maple canopy and buddy foxtail, unattractive right?  But when

you are under it, I would not want to lose that lovely thin green trunk complementing the other palms.

Other woodsoniana around the garden I keep for the same reason.

And my Ch. plumosa are similar.

Do you have a palm that must be looked at from the right angle?

They’d be snapped off in my windy climate. I keep my lanky Chamies altogether in one place for protection. 

[Johnny Palmseed]

I like it. It has a bamboo like look.

Believe it or not, I am really fond or and in-fact, partial to the palm which has lost its surrounding canopy.

Good example of your point.  I don't think I have any palms that fit the description of having lost their canopy at this point.
