This palm was popularised by a current IPS board members late husband. I still have a feeling that cfkingfish will know.

Wow, this thread is becoming somehow epic!

Maybe a year more to find out the ID? :D

By the way, i have no clue :lol:

Funny thing is only a few of us guess but it has almost 10.000 hits! There must be a lot of people out there that are learning plant ID or they just like the game?

The last pic I posted is a bit of a ringer. It is NOT a well known palm but someone here in South Florida will recognise it. It is not one of a kind and it does have seeds. I grew one years ago and it sold quickly but there must be more out there. It may be that most of them are only here in SoFla becsuse the first one was grown here. Where they actually come from I do not know. I hope someone does know the story, perhaps another Central Florida person?

So this hint worked to a degree. I started going through the photos I took around Faith's garden and I found a picture of what I think is the same species. Unfortunately I still don't know what it is. Ken is this the same palm?

Just to be goofy I am going to say Howea belmoriana

Goofy?! GOOFY!? The answer is right! It is a Howea. It's a H. forsteriana actually, but the portion of the photo I posted didn't provide those details.

It's a rare trunking Sarasota specimen.
