Do you have any closer pics of the multi headed Syagrus?

Tha Butia is really neat looking.

Matt, I will get a close up picture for you. Here is a picture from the front side taken this spring before I had it cleaned up.

Wal,

Looks like that Phoenix is about to tear itself apart.

Scott,

I was noticing some 40' tall Phoenix dactylifera recently planted around a shopping center in Cerritos, CA., one evening, while waiting for a table at a steak house, and noticed that at least three or four of the palms had new heads sprouting out from the sides. Not what I would expect to be high on the probability scale. I assumed that the palms were heavy seed producers, and that some seed embedded itself in the sides of the head and germinated into new palms, getting a head-start on things, so to speak. I can't see the head of your queen in the image provided. Does the trunk actually divide into two or more heads, like the P. roebelenii, or the B. capitata shown above?

Is this called multi-headed?
