[Alex-v]

hello

I have bought tit as yungasensis, but now it show the beginning of a multi stemmed plant.  now I think it could be cardenasii 

Those who have both, what do you think?

Holy Suckering Syagrus!

A late update of my Syagrus yungasensis ....

Beautiful Alberto! Did you ever figure out if the slower one was a true Syagrus yungasensis?

they both look like S. yungasensis based upon Dr. Noblicks Monograph of Syagrus ---- see comparison of Albertos palms with Syagrus Monograph (Noblick)

How can can be explained the suckering habit of this particular individual?

I received the seeds as yungasensis but I am not 100% sure of the correct identification. Could ut be a Syagrus cardenasii...?

[Alberto]

Some trunks grow slowly with rings very close together while one of the trunks shows rings far from each other, making it look totally different... .

Gradual exposure to sun or especially dry years I assume... I have an identical scheme on the trunk a Chamaedorea specimen and it is def a result of gradual sun exposure.

I found this one at a Jungle Jacks nursery nearby and it was root bound in a 15 g pot. Planted it about 10 years ago and it’s thriving. I just trimmed it up and removed hundreds of seeds. The trunk is about the same size as a Phoenix robellini. Very graceful palm and rare.
