A rather fast growing majestic Syagrus with stiff dark green leaves. Ripe fruit is yellow and the size of golf balls. These have got to be in the 30 foot range. (10m)

Always loaded with seed.

    I could have included these photos in that ‘moss on palm trunks’ topic. Quite the eco-system from bottom to top.

    Such a beautiful Syagrus Tim, my favorite. The crown has its own unique look. Yours looks amazing. Been growing one from a little seedling via Floribunda since 2006 or so. It’s grown steadily, although a bit unevenly since then. Occasionally battling nutrient, deficiencies and such. But it’s finally on its way, having developed about 3 feet of nice swollen trunk and that wonderful looking crown.

    Thanks Richard 😎

    Jonathan……I’ll remember that snarky remark. 

    Bret, what a chunk! I remember those huge entire leaves when I first planted them and then they exploded. I have never fertilized or sprayed them which is a bonus.

    Really good looking palm, Tim. Here's another Hawaii entry - my quartet, planted September 2013.  Photoed from my third-story balcony.
