I bought this palm as a seedling primarily because it was variegated but I never asked what it is.

I planted it in the ground and has gotten bigger but I don't know what its culture requirements are.

I am tempted to dig it up and pot it up but am a bit aprehensive.

Any one here know what it is and if its a species that won't die out if it get dug up?

Close up of the base.

Do you think its safe to dig this guy up and put it in a pot?

He's kind of crowded in there.

It looks like an Arenga of some kind.  Plant it in shade or mostly shade, or the white will burn in the sun, and go easy on the fertilizer.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

That's Arenga engleri, what a beauty. If it's in a shady area, leave it there.

Happy Gardening

:) Hi Wal,

               That the best one to put so far , But looking close at the

pictures Gene posted, Theres a chance it may even be

A. caudata, More food for thought  ???

Even considering that  Terminal leaf size (Still young)

Cheers Wal Mikey :)

As for moving this palm, Be careful,you don't want to stress it to much, if it's in your yard and not your Grandparents

house, leave it there, It's not crowded there and will look

Great just where you have it.

Regards Mikey

We dug up the Birds nest fern beside her to put in a Copernicia Bailiana.  We reached her root ball so I couldn't resist digging her up as well.

I potted her up but I still dont know what she is.

Keep it in very filtered light or you will burn it easily!

I sure will Bill - (hey that rhymes)

Part of the reason that I chose to dig it up was that it was getting burned on the spot where it was growing.  

I think you can see some of the brown leaf edges in the picture.
