Wallichia disticha

Hello everyone,

 

I have a Wallichia disticha planted in the ground, and to my surprise, I’ve just noticed what seems to be a new shoot emerging only about 3 cm from the main trunk.

 

From what I know, W. disticha is supposed to be a solitary palm, so I found this quite unexpected. It’s definitely not a seedling — I don’t have any fruiting specimens nearby — so it looks like a basal or adventitious shoot coming directly from the main plant.

 

Has anyone here ever experienced this with Wallichia disticha or seen a similar case?

Did the new shoot develop into an independent stem, or did it eventually die back?

 

Any insight or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best regards,

Rafael

I am surprised but it is definitely an arenga. Cylindrical stem, my mistake. Thanks all for your inputs. Unbelievable mistake of mine,
