Just purchased this today. New ish to kings was sold to me as cunninghamiana can anyone confirm. Only way o know to tell is it does not have silver undersides.

Another good indicator of cunninghamiana is a reddish brown tomentum on the leaf petioles.

I have an archontophoenix Alexandrae as well. For a second I was wondering if this was mistaken identity because the Alexandrae is so much different, Stiffer petioles, tighter trunk rings. I know all of this can vary too based on environmental factors and genetic factors. For some reason I was under the impression they were extremely similar.

And a brown tomentum along the petiole as well for Cunninghamiana.
