We bought these three palms maybe three years ago and they were planted in the ground maybe two and a half years ago.  We bought them as some kind of cold-tolerant pinanga.  However, recently, someone visiting our garden told me they were areca triandra.  On further research, I think this latest visitor might be correct.  What do you think?  Thanks in advance.

    It is not dead, it is just senescence.

    Thanks for the confirmation, Steve!  Mine have grown very slowly, but I read Areca triandra is supposed to be a fast grower?  It gets a little morning sun for a couple of hours, otherwise in the shade of the house.

    Beautiful planting! :wub:

    Naples (inland), FL - technically 10a but more like 9b in the winter :hmm:

    Looking great Anna! :greenthumb:

    Thanks, Missi and Scott.  Steve, I'm glad to know it's not anything I'm doing.  They're finally looking happy, and I won't worry as long as they're doing what they should be.  Thanks.  And thanks for posting your lovely one.  After three years of not knowing for sure what it was, I'm happy to know.

    Your right Anna, they look like  Areca triandra.  They survived the cold 2010 winter, which hit around 27f -- 28f.

    Thanks, Mike!  Great to know.  They are being tested right now with the cold winter we're having, and faring well.  They are in a protected spot near walls, though.

    Areca trianda. They look happy too.
