The 2nd and 5th picture are cunninghamiana. The first one looks like purpurea, but would need to see more of it to tell for sure.

Best regards

Is that 55 EUROS??!!!!! Man, it's waaaaayyy too expensive. You better mail-order one from Germany or Spain, you can probably buy one this size or bigger for no more than 15 euros, plus another 15-20 euros for the shipping cost.

The plant in the photos looks about 1.30 - 1.50m. tall, right?

So if it's 55 euro, that would be like 80 dollars US, right?

That last leaf looks like a cunninghamiana.

The key is no silver on the reverse, and little brown hairs (rachillae). If it had both silver and hairs, it could be purpurea or a hybrid.

55 Euros?

Well, I don't know what's expensive there . . . . other palm prices for comparison?

For Greece the price is very good ( especially if it is purperea which I find extremely slow ). It's nice to see the less common species ( for Greece ) coming to the market. Seems to be more common since all of our CIDP's are more or less doomed.

I'm a big advocate for purchasing palms in Germany ( 90% of mine have come from there ), but a trunking speciman there is difficult to find for 50 euro.

I'd say buy it - but leave it where it is until later April / early May.
