When I lived in Las Vegas, palm ID was simple. 10 species made up 95% of the palms. Since moving to South Florida, I don't know the names of most palms I see. I've been going to Fairchild to learn names. I took some pics today of palms and the ID tags. Lets see how good you guys are...

I agree 100% with kwtimo

 

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

I think No 5 is Attalea Crassispatha. Is a very beautiful palm, whatever it is.

Actually not as old as you might guess... They were planted about 10 years ago at a size similar to mine.This species apparently does not like the extremes of the desert and although it hangs on through freezes,drought,120F,and the occasional weed eater incident,it only produces about 1 complete frond every 2 years for me.Pseudophoenix sargentii growing right next to it,while no rockets either,grow slow and steady - producing 2 new fronds per year and flowers to boot!Compare my profile photo to see the growth difference.And people think sargentii is slow...

The Attalea is butyracea and Pete, only Montgomery Botanical Center has Livistona victoria. They don't really match with our environment for some reason or another... Copernicia macroglossa is right. The palm above is hospita. Not really fair for me--I know this garden like the back of my hand...

I am useless at IDing palms.I used to do a lot of birdwatching and I could never tell one seagull from another. Palms are my seagulls.

 I think some of the first ones were Licuala and I think I spotted a Dypsis. But on the whole I just say its a palm! I dont know how you guys tell them apart!

Euterpe edulis would'nt need to live in a glasshouse, Precatoria would as its a "Strictly" tropical Euterpe, the tag needs replacing.

Thanks for all the great shots.
