Copernicia ??? in Gardens by The Bay

[doranakandawatta]

In the silver garden:

Can you name the palm?

[Firepalm]

Beautiful palm! I'm no Copernicia expert, but if pressed I would guess C. Baileyana. Doesn't quite look blue/white enough to be Hospita and the leaves don't have the characteristic diamond shape of Fallaensis.

[Peter Pacific]

My first thought was fallaensis. But I agree with Firepalm, the leaves are too round so I'd say baileyana too.

Copernicia fallaensis :-D

[virtualpalm]

I would call this C. x textilis (named hybrid between C. baileyana and C. hospita). I do not see anything to suggest C. fallaensis.

I'd make a not so educated guess and say Bailey.

Baileys and Fallaence can be hard to tell apart at this age yes? no?

Can't wait for my Bailey to get some size like that

How about this one ? Fallaence?

Of course Rusty! It must look rather familiar since it's yours lol I sent you a PM but I took the pic from the street in front of your house. Those are two gorgeous palms you have there! My buddy drove me by your place since he knows I love Fallaensis. And you told me your garden was no big deal! You're a humble man!
