Theres this Phoenix palm near my house.

The street is lined with typical canariensis...

except this one.

Any ideas & suggestions what this may be?

This variety is ideal especially if your yard is limited in space for planting those canariensis.

I hope the seeds grow up to have skinny trunks like these.

    I know next to nothing, but I'd guess these have some rupicola in them?

    I think it looks like a P. sylvestris, or a hybrid with some sylvestris blood.

    UK zone 8b/9a. No heavy frosts. Occasional -6c. Dull wet winters. Cool summers.

    Failing that, perhaps P. rupicoa hybrid.

    I have seeds of both post 1&3.

    The palm in post 1 germinates very quickly.

    Beautifull thin trunk reminiscent of C.nucifera trunks.

    Anyone know what these are?

    Yes it seems its CIDP x Rupicola or vise versa.

    Remember that Rupicola is very rare and is mainly found in botanical gardens or in enthusiast's private collections. It would be a long shot to see a hybrid Rupicola crossed with anything on a random street.

    I have a Rupicola and it has a very distinct look, the leaves are lime green colored. And the leaflets are arranged on the rachis completely flat, most of the other phoenix species have leaflets coming off the rachis at alternating angles.

    I have seen hybrid Canary palms crossed with Reclinata, Sylvester, and Dactiferya. They all look huge! The Reclinata x Canary crosses I have seen look even bigger than the straight Canary.

    The only time I have seen a Canary hybrid come out with a thin trunk is if it is crossed with Roebelini.

    So I would suspect it is a Canary x Roebelini.

    However the scar pattern on the trunk looks like Dactiferya, so maybe it is Canary x Dactiferya?

    What was the diameter of the trunk?

    The pic posted by Opal92 looks like Phoenix Reclinata.

    The first palm is gorgeous. Love Phoenix hybrids. I think canariensis is a given, but I'd like to know what else is in there.

    I'm far from an expert, but it seems unlikely that a reclinata hybrid would have a single trunk.
