    Maybe.  I'll check in the morning.  Up loaded from phone as for some reason this program no longer likes pictures from my computer even ones that were uploaded a year or more ago.

    That looks a bit better, now you have Nana, nice palm I reckon your one would 15 years old given Hawaiis climate, but if in dry conditions at least 20 years. There a beautiful palm especially when given some extra attention!

    Nana has been a great grower here in swampy Florida.  I bought some from Floribunda and planted one in a shady spot.  After ~2 years it's already about waist high and clustering nicely.  Hainanensis grows well too, but is a bit slow.

    Been in the ground 5 years.   Gets watered 2 times a week about 3 am for about 35 minutes.  It's about 2 feet tall.

    Yup wrong picture.  This is Calyptrocalyx hollrungii also from FB and planted the same time as nana.   Whats funny is to the left of this and about 5' away is a spot were at least 3 palms have been planted and died.  I'm afraid to try again.  LOL
