I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Richard,

What a beauty. Any chance we could get a pic or two of the whole palm? If I added it to the DYPSTERY PAGE maybe we could get some ideas on an ID. Do you have any opinions?

Hi Madbob,

Thats a great looking trunk ya got there!

I'd be quietly hacking that Rhapis hedge to bits (dividing and transplanting sounds better maybe...) to free all the others, unless they need the protection in your climate?

Is that a Pritchardia of some sort at the front there? It's a beauty too, whatever it is.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Thanks for trying Richard. Speculation has it that it's a D. leptocheilos/lastelliana type. From what I can see of the leaves, it may be. What's your take?

D. leptocheilos/lastelliana type .Yes , it came from Ron Lawyer , he would know more . The top of the leaves are kind of blueish oily looking . The growth rate is between leptocheilos/lastelliana leaning closer to leptocheilos .It gets a little frost burn but didnt defoliate in the freeze and grows thru the winter . The fan palm is Pritchardia hillebrandii / blue dwarf .

Ahh, now I see more what Matty and Clark were telling me about the heal on my D. decipiens. Your Big Red is curving just like my small D. d. is starting to do.

That is a beauty Bob. Thanks
