When you have as many as I do, you get a lot of fallen leaves. Mostly it’s like, meh whatever, but once in a while one warrants  more than a bit of notice.

The leaf below is from my Chambeyronia hookeri watermelon. It’s not as big as a royal leaf, but impressive, at least to me.

I’m sure some of our Palm Talk denizens have others that made an impression, and/or cool crownshafts and other features revealed. 

Do show us!

Those Chambeyronia fronds are unique in so far as they feel like leather and large, must be something to make from them apart from mulch.

@DoomsDaveif it's not too much to ask let's see a photo of your Chambeyronia hookeri "watermelon" now that it's showing off it's fresh new crownshaft. I probably have about 10 "favorite" palms but if I were forced to choose one that might be it.

Satakentia Luikensis gives a nice colored crownshaft when the old leaf falls.  Mine is in 3/4 day shade and the purple color lasts just a few days.  The purple color has been increasing as this palm gets older it seems.

No room here for the Chambies so I planted Calyptrocalyx species. The new leaves stay red about 6 to 8 weeks. My dud of the decade is my Archontophoenix purpurae!  My veins have more purple than it does.

Hello There Unca Dave by the way.

27.35 south.

Warm subtropical, with occasional frosts.
