Suckering and untrimmed.  I think they're much better looking as a bush than a tree.

Suckering / well trimmed.  You get more of an architectural effect when trunk has some length to it.

I like them all, especially those with a dens crown with very small leaves (about handsize) on very short and thin petioles (so not the vulcano form)!

This one looks amazing! Do you have both a male and a female one to reliably produce single trunk offspring?

Funny thing... This has always been a single trunk male never producing any offsets. Last year,it switched teams and produced female flowers entirely for the very first time.

I prefer multi but it's such a beautiful palm singles are quite gorgeous in their own right. Case in point - look at the photos already posted here of singles.....:wub:

Do you have other single trunk plants that you can pollinate with?
I am trying to find seeds from a single trunk female that was pollinated by a single trunk male.
@Darold Petty has a single trunk male in case you want to try to pollinate with for reliably single trunk offspring.
My assumption is that non-clumping is a recessive mutation shared between all single trunk plants.

Multi trunked trimmed, otherwise they look messy.  nothing wrong with single trunk too but IMO resembles a Tracycarpus too much.
