palms that go pinnate/palmate at a young age

[Mr.SamuraiSword]

any suggestions of a palm that gets mature looking leaves at a young age?

Hedyscepe and Dypsis leptocheilos are two that I know have pinnate fronds from their first frond as a seedling.

Archontophoenix cunninghamiana and myolensis have both gone pinnate within 2 years for me.

Most phoenix will. It takes most butia a full 2 years.

I was going to suggest phoenix, particularly theophrasti, but TexasColdHardyPalms beat me to it. :)

Syagrus (Lytocaryum) weddellianum is finely pinnate from the very first leaf (eophyll), and is suitable for use as an indoor, potted plant.

CIDP is faster than theophrastii. Ive seen a few go pinnate on their 6th leaf. A 1gallon cidp will have 6 mature fronds but without the viscous thorns.

I actually had this pic on my phone. 2.5 year old theo in a 5gallon.

Our dypsis decaryi

Hello there,

the fastest pinnate going ones (over here) are:

Dypsis leptocheilos (now taken, almost one year old),...

Dypsis lastelliana (now taken, almost one year old),...

Pigafetta elata (taken last June, five months old)...

Veitchia joannis (taken July 2014, 14 months old)....

and some of my phoenix palms (rupicola and sylvestris).

 

best regards

all of the above mentioned palms + a healthy Raphia farinifera will push a mature looking leaf straight away

(ignore the feet and the q tip)

Nobody says Chamaedorea elegans!!!

Mauritia flexuosa will go palmate in their first fronds.  (The photo in my profile is a clump of mature palms).  I've seen them throughout northern Brazil as far south as Minas Gerais state.  Fast growing also, but needs a ton of water.  They are the 2 seedlings in the clay pot in the photo.
