Three interesting specimens from Santa Clara, Utah, close to St. George.

#1. Brahea brandegeei is a guess I have for this beautiful looking fan palm. I think im seeing to leaf scars in spiral arrangement seen in pics of this palm.

#2. Some kind of trachy, I think. This area has fortunei around but this one appeared to have bigger leaves.

#3 can this be Jubaea or another boring CIDP and how can we tell?

1: Tough call but looks more like a windmill than Brahea.. Can see the fuzz on the trunk if you look close enough too.

3: Phoenix.. Could be a reg. ol Canary.

Agree. 1 and 2 look like T fortunei to me. 3 is P canariensis. Easiest way to tell from Jubaea is the armed petioles and induplicate leaflets.
