2 pointsWal, take it back and get an IPOD Touch. It does everyhting an IPOD does plus gives you internet wherever there's free WiFi. More importantly, you're not paying that ridiculous monthly fee Android and IPhone users pay.2 points

1 pointTyrone, Most people I know that have tasted the B. edulis fruit weren't very impressed. I've never actually tasted it myself. I never let them ripen. The tree in that picture is probably between 20 and 25 years old.1 point

1 pointTyrone, B. edulis fruit are round and bigger than olives. When ripe they're bluish black and are edible. Even though the fruits are decorative, I cut them off before ripening so they don't fall all over my patio.1 point

1 pointIt's Brahea edulis. Leafbases will persist sometimes and then all fall off in the course of a week. Quite odd.1 point -
1 pointI bet if the palm on foto didnt have any fruits on, all this ID issue would be much more different.1 point

1 pointI think these Butia capitata petioles are thinner than normal because these palms are pretty shaded by a large Ficus Macrophylla (Moreton Bay Fig).1 point

1 pointSome have clean trunks at this size and some don't...not sure of the reason why. I do know this palm is most certainly Brahea edulis (I've seen it thousands of times).1 point

1 pointThere's no doubt that the first one is Brahea edulis. The trunk fibers are typical of those in a dry or semi-dry climate and will eventually fall away to reveal a smooth trunk. This tree looks nearly identical to the one in my back yard. L. chinensis leaf bases are thicker and less upright than those in the picture. Also, the fruiting is typical of B. edulis.1 point

1 pointI see these palms all the time in Balboa Park. Your correct Jim, the first one is Brahea edulis fruiting and second is Butia capitata.1 point
