I have had this palm for a number of years but have long since lost track of which species it is.  You can tell by the trunk that it is a survivor, which I like, it gives it character.

So, I am almost certain it is Archontophoenix, but there is an off chance it could be a representative of a different rarer genera since I had some rarer palms in the yard at the time I had this one planted out.

What say you?

Looks like Archonotophoenix. Are the backs of the leaves silvery as they appear?

It’s an Archontophoenix. Looks like one of the variants of Alexandrae.

Because it’s been in a pot so long it will be more slender which can make ID tricky.

The undersides of the leaves are the same green as the top so I am guessing Archontophoenix alexandrae, though it could be any of the other species except cunninghamiana and purpurea.

I like the irregular contours of the trunk, caused by occasional droughts, removal from the ground, etc.
