Show us your best fan palm!

[Sabal Steve]

YES!

(pics of mine later)

[Palmdude]

Gotta go with my rather blue Bailey! this one is strange, it's blue during the day but then starts changing colors at night?

[Palmdude]

It's going in the ground in the next couple of days I'm a slacker! It's been sitting there in the pot for almost a year! I know I know!!!!

[Sabal Steve]

BAM!

Avansa, you just made me crack up! That's funny!

[Kim]

Difficult to choose between Kerriodoxa and Tahina...

[Dr. George]

Hard to choose... how about:

kerriodoxa elegans

Licuala peltata var. sumawongii

Itaya amicorum

And, of course, a Bizzy...

[aztropic]

I like the compact growth habit of Coccothrinax borhidiana.

[colin Peters]

Pritchardia bakeri, habitat Kuliouou ridge, Oahu.

[colin Peters]

Nice photos everyone! Colin, the underside of that P. bakerii looks like P. viscose, beautiful.

Here are a couple of garden pics of Kerriodoxa, incredible fan palm. Front and back.

[Palmdude]

Woah! Tim! That Keriodoxa looks awesome....... And then you notice the shovel for scale! Wow!!!!!! I just got two little babies the other day one I bought and the other I traded for, I can't wait for them to grow! Yours has left me with a case of Keriodoxa envy! Lol

[Sabal Steve]

Most of my fan palms are still pretty small. I have a bigger bizzie, but this one has better colors.

[Sabal Steve]

[Walter John]

I'm going to show you three, equal best.

Livistona decora

Licuala ramsayii

Bismarkia nobilis - green form

[tjwalters]

Finally, a game I can play! Needles grown in partial shade can have gorgeous leaves...

[tjwalters]

Love Kerriodoxa...ever since first seeing it.

[Vari805]

Here is a fan palm that continues to surprise me with each leaf, and loves the sun!

[steve99]

My two favorites, a Bizzy and the not so common Mauritellia armata.

[realarch]

Carlos, that is one spectacular leaf, the mottling is unreal.

Is that a mapu? I have never seen one with such a diaphanous leaf...

[sur4z]

For me it was my P. pacifica...but alas it died.

Thanks Tim.

Andrew, it does resemble a mapu with the extreme mottling. Though, it isn't a Licuala with wide leaflets.

Its a Chamaerops Humillis variation.

[Mandrew968]

WOW--that one is a stunner and the nicest Chamaerops I have ever seen!

[Hedysceptical]

Trachycarpus princeps .

[Jim in Los Altos]

Brahea nitida approx. fifteen years old.

Brahea edulis approx. twenty years old.

[avanza]

Jim i'm respected

[Palmdude]

That Chamaerops is insane looking or am I having one of those flash backs I was promised?

[Palmdude]

Here's another one good Gawd almighty!

[Stevetoad]

Hard for me to choose. I love my bizzies,licualas,livistonas,pritchardias,kerriodoxa but I guess my big sabal is still my favorite. It never gives me any trouble and just grows.

Or maybe it's this
