I spotted this hybrid Phoenix growing at a house in Longwood, FL (north of Orlando). Its a very attractive specimen with a slender trunk, and soft, graceful leaves. To my eye it appears to have P. robelenii and P. sylvestris in it.

Provided that sylvestris is the seeding plant or that Florida`s moist climate affects plant`s appearance.. . otherwise supposed cross would not seem to me likely.

I'd say it has P. rupicola in it. No mistaking those pale-green non-plumose leaves. Sylvestris is a lot more silvery and plumose.

The trunk looks a bit thick to be a pure rupicola.

Perhaps a C. rupie X C. canariensis?

Here's a sylvestris, from our beloved PalmPedia:

This was also my first impression: The leaflets are in one plane, like a Ph. rupicola. But for a pure Ph. rupicola the leaves seem to be too short. – Ph. sylvestris has totally different leaves, here a photo from its habitat in India:

I stand corrected.

Those little bumply-bumps all over the trunk say roebie.

The trunk looks really like a combination between Ph. canariensis (not dactylifera) and Ph. roebelenii; here a montage of photos of (non-hybrid) Ph. canariensis & dactylifera & roebelenii trunks:

A fantastic specimen for sure, if you had a whole field of them they would sell like hotcakes, at least I think they should.

Corpus Christi, TX, near salt water, zone 9b/10a! Except when it isn't and everything gets nuked.

I think so too. Looks like it's pretty old too.

I would love to have a large collection of all these Phoenix hybrid specimens. So many good looking "mutts" here in Florida.
