I had a pot that was just laying around in my garden in a semi-shaded area that I didn't notice in years. When I "discovered" it there was this little palm growing in it. It is not one I bought, nor does it look like anything else I have in my garden except for maybe Phoenix roebelenii? Puzzling especially since at its current size it has  mature leaves. Any ideas?

I think it'll grow up to have a crownshaft. Which crownshafted palms do you have?

Thanks! You guys maybe into something here. When the first post mentioned crownshaft palms , the one that came to mind was Kentiopsis oliviformis. I have a mature one in my yard, and it is conceivable that this may have been from a critter dropping the seed in another part of the garden.

It can't be a Phoenix because the leaflet attachment to the rachis is wrong.  Phoenix is attached like a V, induplicate, while this palm is the opposite, reduplicate.  :)

I don't have the exposure to the many species that other members have, but I will post a species that looks somewhat similar at this size and young age that I purchased July 2021.  I call it Dypsis Plumosa without DOOM, thanks Dave.  I take responsibility for the sunburn on the first generation growth by setting it out in December 2021 on the driveway for a couple of hours.

Hi Darold, How are you?  Thanks for replying.  I don't know if you remember me, I was a member of the Northern California Palm Society when we lived in Antioch. Many of the palms I planted in that Garden are still there, but likely not getting  the best care they need. I remember your Garden from one of the visits there, it is really nice. Do you still live in the same place? We "escaped" to Florida about  17.5  years ago,  so many palms grow like weeds here, I have palms  self seeding everywhere.

Yep, same house, same garden, palms come and go, lately exploring non-palm cloud forest plants from Latin America.   :winkie:
