Brahea elegans @ Douglas Estate, CA

[Patrick]

Good afternoon,

 

Does anyone have pictures of the palm that was labeled Brahea elegans' from the Dick Douglas Estate? I always loved that palm as it was so 'manageable' for lack of a better word. The small size makes its utilization very easy. I have a plant that was sold to me as the type, but I'm not enough of a Brahea specialist to tell differences. Anyone remember Bob Fowler from up here in NorCal? He would have been able to steer me in the right direction as to what my palm is. This plant has been in the ground for probably 2 or 3 years now. It only had a couple small palmate leaves when I planted it- it had only been out of the juvenile phase/ strap leaves for a little bit. The grower who I got this from was very reputable. He even had Linospadix monostachya for sale- who does that? Enjoy the pics and let me know what you think. Thanks for sharing the pictures of Dick's tree.
