cool looking palm but is it a hybrid? why do the leaf tips droop?

[Alicehunter2000]

Wow....I love that palm. The only ones I ever saw were at Fairchild. Wish they would grow here......and I also wonder why the leaf tips are hanging.....variation within species maybe?

[Central Floridave]

I have no idea about the drooping leaves. Are they normally erect?

[Central Floridave]

Yeah, after googlin' I couldn't find any others with droopy fronds. The label said Copernicia baileyana. Maybe its something else.

Usually Copernicia baileyana has leaves like these

[BS Man about Palms]

Maybe it thinks its a Sabal.....

[Jeff in St Pete]

Whatever it is, it's a stunning palm! Thanks for the photos.

Very nice but does not fit with the look of Copernicia with those drooping leaf tips.

Humm--- something crossed or just wrongly labeled ?

That is a very pretty palm. I adore C. baileyana but dont have the patience or the life expectancy to grow one to full size. I have no idea what that palm is but if they grow at a reasonable pace then I want one (or two)

Looks like a Copernicia cross maybe baileyana and another. Maybe Ken can identify it better.

Either way.

That's a nice palm.

Crosses look good too. The first one is C.hospita x something

The one in the back right is baileyana cross what I been told.

[Eric in Orlando]

I think C. bertroana has leaves with segments that droop at the tips so maybe its a hybrid with that one. It does look good.

Here is what our juvenile C. baileyana looks like;

Hmm, i have seen true Bailey's act like yours after they were exposed to high winds... any storms lately?

[Central Floridave]

This palm isn't mine, but a friends. In 2005 we had a series of hurricanes come through. 100+ mph winds in back-to-back storms.

Thanks for the add on photos. Nice ones!
