Crane Creek in Melbourne.  There are a lot of old and mature queens, royals, date palms, Dypsis, etc.  It is definitely a pinnate leaf palm.  What do you guys think?  It's not far from where I live, I'll see if I can visit and find out.

Can't tell.  But, I wish I could go on this bushwhacking trip with you!

A mystery...

I can't tell at all, but it would be an interesting trip to find out. It would be neat to see if it's a 'one-off' or if there is a population in there, depending on what it is. Exploring an area like this can be fun. Never know what it's in there. Last time I did a similar quest I found a grouping of large Licuala spinosa specimens. Never found the source, but figured someone had a mature tree in their yard nearby.

Watch your step and bring bug spray.

There are naturalized Dypsis, phoenix reclinata, queens, and royal volunteers in the area already.  Most likely it's one of the later three as Dypsis would be too small to be that palm.  Also I looked closely at the area and saw a few more like it within a hundred yards.

I have a boat.  I dream that someday someone will post an image on PalmTalk of a curious palm in the Sacramento river delta, requiring a boat for a go-and-see mission.  Then I will volunteer myself and my boat.

Let me know when you want to go.  Winter is best for trolling for striped bass around there.

It would be a Washingtonia, or a canarensis, or the big grass that we call "bamboo" lol. Best I could hope for is a Brahea edulis. The delta could use more Livistona for sure.

 

We delta folks should organize a fishing PRA, but only when the stripers are running ;)

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

I am saying Royals based others nearby in the neighborhood that are more easy to ID based on their long shadows.
