very unusual queen or mule palm

[dimitriskedikogloy]

i am very confused this queen looks too thick for a regular syagrus could it be a different unusual variety or even a mule palm the trunk really reminds me of one but the fronds resemble a queen by their shape although thau have a butia like curve

Dimitris, I believe it's just a queen palm which can be somewhat variable.  Ones that have thick trunks like that one tend to be more cold hardy based on what I have witnessed here in Texas.

It has been over trimmed and the leaves are slightly shorter probably due to a cool location but otherwise it looks like a perfectly normal queen palm.

Looks like a queen to me

Yes , a Queen it is . As was mentioned they vary quite a bit . I have seen some very thick trunked Syagrus R. here in Southern California . Harry

Maybe a wind prone area or the owner doesn’t like the messy inflorescence. We are prone to super high winds here in the fall . Last year we had multiple wind events , one over 90mph wind gusts! I have mine trimmed even closer than that . The benefit is that the tree guys have a way of cutting out the spathes almost a year before they make a mess in my garden. The fronds grow back within 3-4 months , better than having broken fronds hanging 40’ in the air where I can’t reach them. Harry

they vary substantially with water and fertilizer.  Give them mnore water you get more green leaves in the crown.  Starve them and they look like they came out of a fire.  They need clay soil to ensure the roots very rarely go dry.
