No idea, but it's a beautiful palm anyway. I had one it was clumping and got run over and killed by a small "bob cat" during some flood damage clean up by the national guard. :angry:

It does not look like an Euterpe olearcea to me. At that size a E. olearcea would have clumped already. And the fronds do not drop down enough from what I can see.

Some more information :

When I bought this palms, there were another 5 for sale... All the same curve (at base of the trunk), same roots (outside, on soil) and young leaves are purple...

For me sure, it's not E. olearcea

I'm far from an expert, but it looks a lot like a Heterospathe elata. :) The roots outside are called a "heel".

My first reaction was Calyptronoma sp. as well. The thin trunk kept me from commiting to that I.D. :unsure:

Let me check this palm in my books... It's true that Heterospathe elata has new leaves pinkish bronze color... :) and I don't have this palm in my collection (http://asie.online.fr/palmiers/index-palmiers.html)

Regarding Calyptronoma sp., can be possible too :rolleyes:

Hello again !

I got message from a big Palm colector in Reunion Island : It seems to be IMPOSSIBLE that this palm is H.elata...

So, I have to find another way !

I took a few picture of some E. olearcea at my house and one in the street today. Your palm definatley is not an E. olearcea. The tree does not really resemble the one you have.

Pilou,

Your palm looks very nice...hopefully someone chimes in with the correct ID. I'm not familiar with many species of palms at that stage but I'd suggest it could be some species from Indic or Pacific oceans, like Rhopaloblaste, Heterospathe, etc...

Don,

What a great açaí clump in this first picture !!... I get jealous at the beach with the impossibility (is there such a word in English?) of getting mine to look so perfect like these...

The fruit looks delicious...hmmmm... ice cream...

No Howeas have heels like that. Do Kentiopsis?????? I'm thinking something from New Caledonia or a Pacific Island, but can't put my finger on an ID.

Best regards
