If you are not interested in Brahea and common zone 9 specimen palms you might want to skip this one.

Butia

Trick to a nice arching W. robusta... plant it under an evergreen tree.

Oozing California...

I thought this was an almost unarmed W. filifera hybrid, but after some comments in another thread by PalmGuyWC, I suspect this is a Sabal.  I am not used to seeing Sabal around here, so it threw me.

Almost spineless.

Leaf, no fibers

Trunk damage, or a Sabal trait?

Hi Robert, spectacular photos.  That last one is a Brahea edulis.

I love the bug eye views of the Washingtonias.  All the photos are great.

Thanks Jacob,

I didn't even consider Brahea due to the green leaves.  I was trying to find a match under Sabal and couldn't find anything that fit the description.

Brahea

Some people celebrating Hmong New Year.

Brahea armata

Grouping of B. armata with tapering trunks

Growing in what is probably full shade all year long.

Looks sick

But appears to be pushing a healthy spear
