Caryota single trunk identification


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Is there a way to identify which species of Caryota I have.  I can't seem to find anything that list the difference, besides over all high and a few basic characteristics.  Can this be determined by the leaves?

I got it from a place that was going out business, so no information and was in too small of pot.

I can guess that it isn't Mitis, because at that size it would have clustered several times.  I would guess not Monostachya, as it is also a clustering type.  Since the palm appears to be trying to trunk, I'd also guess not No/Obtusa/Gigas because it isn't 2-4' in diameter.  So that leaves Urens and Maxima as kind-of-common solo types, and Rumphiana as an uncommon possibility.  I have a Caryota Urens, but it is only about 2' tall and doesn't have any really distinguishing features.  Hopefully someone else can chime in and make a better guess, because mine is definitely a SWAG.

Thank you, way better than I could come up with
