Hard to say with confidence, but it might be Chrysalidocarpus arenarum. Even the crownshaft and trunk colour look a little off for  C lutescens but that could be growing conditions - looks like quite deep shade?

That's interesting! I think it is an arenarum now I searched it up! Thank you 🙏

This is genuinely scaring me because I took a picture of another supposedly lutescens but it could be arenarum... IMG_20250503_162903.thumb.jpg.12d2a322f2dc973af2db909d879b20fc.jpg

Caryota species

It’s normal for lutescens to have a red spear. Mine do the same thing. Especially if they are shaded. Here’s one of mine. The first shot shows two spears. One red and one green.  These are the same plant just two different suckers.

I know it is Caryota but what species? Was thinking perhaps obtusa, but Caryota taxonomy is messed up

The thing is... People say the difference between arenarum and lutescens are the red spear but then I also see people talk about red speared lutescens... 

 

Help I am going partially insane 😭

From what I know they are very similar. Arenarum will split rather than sucker. That’s the main way to tell them apart. The inflorescence is different as well.
