A few years ago I bought three nice 15-gal Neoveitchia storckii and planted them in the front yard. Over time, one started to take on a slightly different appearance, but I didn't pay much attention. Today a blustery storm blew through and the palm dropped it's large lower frond to reveal its tru colors for the first time.

That wind was pretty nutty today.  Had the front yard Alfredii leaning 60 degrees at one point.

Yeah, absolutely beautiful, but the one in the photo with that long green crown shaft is a Carpoxylon, not Neovietchia.

Yes, Tim, that's the point of the entry. Did you see the tag I attached, Carpoxylon? 😄

Yes, so far. The other two haven't trunked yet and have a thatch-like covering from old fronds at their base. They look quite different from my other Carpoxylon--I have several Carpoxylon, but these were my only "Neoveitchia." Time will tell if the other two are Neoveitchia, I guess. The fronds do resemble photos of Neos I have seen. The leaflets seem thicker and more closely spaced than Carpoxylon, so there is a difference that I just never noticed until the big trunk reveal. Photos of the Carpoxylon frond, Neoveitchia (?) frond, and Neoveitchia base.

They all look great! It looks like the shape of the petiole is different in addition to the base not holding the boots. And that’s a nice filtered sun area you have. I lose a lot of small palms due to the lack of sun protection.
