Like this picture, credit to Palmpedia.

Here a two headed T. wagnerianus.

That waggie is incredible...I wonder what would happen if I planted two palms only inches away from eachother? I heard they grow faster to compete for sunlight but it might give that double headed look! Hmmm

[Steve Mac]

Chamaedorea cataractarum does it all of the time,

sorry no pic.

That Waggie looks like it's been decapitated at some stage causing two trunks to form. Look at the size of the main trunk compared to the two new trunks. Still an interesting palm. Here is a branching lutescens.

Nice pictures!

Here's another lutescens but with single trunk and dual crownshafts.

Took these pics last week in Singapore Gardens by the Bay.....dypsis leptocheilos x cabadae?

[knell]

how about this Livistona 

[kinzyjr]

Given that some of the suckers are coming out of the trunk on this Phoenix Dactylifera, I may end up with trunks going everywhere:

[Phoenikakias]

A Coccothrinax branching more than 2'  a.g.l.

[tropicbreeze]

Not a dual, but a six headed Archontophoenix alexandrae.

this dypsis pembana was a single trunk had a spear pull as a young palm(3' overall)in the winter of 2010(28F x 2 days plus frost).  After it regrew the first, and then a second trunk.   today its about 20' tall overall.

Dual trunks are very rare even here where palms are abundant in most areas.
