Exquisite; I would not have believed it had I not seen it. But how such a colour ? perhaps one of its ancestors had a fling with a golden adonidia.. :hmm:

Knowing my luck, the damn thing will turn green like Dan's when summer returns and the palm is fertilised and soaked. :lol:

Yes, she greened up and grew fatter, definitetly a true catechu dwarf. No idea how tall they go, not very.

Took this for you just now.

New spear arriving, a few leaves have been chewed here and there.

Crownshaft has greened nicely

Stubby palm this, showing stoutness of trunk, (regular tennis ball for perspective).

Lots of variation with this little palm. Looks like you might have something in between Wal, but it's definitely in the dwarf category.

In the super dwarf,(or true dwarf, whatever), of the species, the petiole is virtually non-existant, or maybe from 12 to 25mm long.

I've got one with hardly any petiole and one with just a tad more.
