Pinanga speciosa twin trunked

[Kaname-kun]

I picked up some Pinanga speciosa yesterday and many were double trunked. Does this occur with this species? one or two Palmpedia photos seem to show twin-trunked specimens. The ones I purchased are about four to five feet tall. I also bought one single-trunked individual that has the same trunk color and leaf form. First photo shows double trunk with single trunk behind it.

I will keep these under canopy for a year, but I'm hoping to be able to plant them in a place that gets half-day full South Florida summer sun eventually. Think that's doable?

I think it was planted as a double.  I would keep it in as much shade as possible but might be able to handle the sun. I would place the pot in the area 5hat you were thinking of for at least 2 months and if it does good plant it

Great find!!!

I reside in Boca Raton - where did you purchase them?  I had one years ago,  but lost it in a hurricane and would love to add another to my collection.

I purchased a double one from Searle last year, about the same size pictured
