I just went out and took this close up of the red petiole. This is a double not clumping . It is so young yet but it has the red petiole that showed up when the new fronds developed. As you say , Richard , nice palm either way but it would be nice to know the species . For now it will still be my Basilonga . Harryimage.thumb.jpg.79904f3f815c8ca32ee1377e447e56de.jpg

excuse the stainless steel wire. It is to keep the fronds from breaking in the breeze. The leaflets are large for the size of the petiole and one gust of wind and they break off . I found out right after I planted it. image.thumb.jpg.548d217ffe51e0f6847898976ee0a074.jpg

The underside of the leaf is much lighter than the top, not quite silver but lighter . It is a slow grower that’s for sure. Winter didn’t hurt it at all so cool tolerant easily breezing through our low 40’s f mornings. Also tolerates dry air and breezy conditions. Harry

It may well be you have basilonga just a bit younger and will develop more colour with age, the leaf sheath on your one sort of leans to basilonga, just a young one. Cool tolerant as well so possibly basilonga, like i said you got a beautiful palm either way.
