Merlyn Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I was thinking some kind of Archontophoenix, but I don't have any large enough to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevetoad Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Looks like a struggling chamy. I’ve seen a few that look like that. Especially if they’re stunted from being in a pot to long. 1 "it's not dead it's sleeping" Santee ca, zone10a/9b 18 miles from the ocean avg. winter 68/40.avg summer 88/64.records 113/25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billeb Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I think it looks like a Chambeyronia also. It is struggling though and super confused. Many fronds attempting to push out of the crown back to back. The bulge of the crown base is very pronounced and weird looking. My Macro. Watermelon has a slight bulge to it also. As @Stevetoad indicated, mine was in a pot for many many years before I purchased it. -dale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmatierMeg Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I’m thinking Chambeyronia, too, but in a sorry, stunted, neglected state. At a this point it will never be normal. I feel sorry for it.

tim_brissy_13 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 It’s definitely Chambeyronia macrocarpa.

surfnoumea Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I m from New Caledonia and I m growing all kind of chambeyronia exept lepidota. I can say that it is definitivly a regular macrocarpa in bad condition,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 If you look closely you can even see a little bit of vertical "watermelon" coloration on the crownshaft. Barely noticeable but it's there. Definitely a funky looking one though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
