Brahea Decumbens

[LowDesertBoil]

Hello, everyone! Newer member, first-time topic starter. I live out by Palm Springs area (low desert) 124-degree record breaker as of this year.. I have been working on a backyard remodel for some time. Since I do the work it's been a couple of years process. I have spent a lot of money on plants and as of this year lost a lot of plants, haha. I decided I wanted to get a "Brahea" collection started. I get my palms from many areas.  Phil at Jungle Music, Mark in Yorba Linda, and various places. Some I order, the closer to "some" desert I can get the better off I am due to the plant adaptation to the desert climate.  Anyway, I got this particular palm from Yorba Linda. My plant guy has some Braheas on consignment from a lady who lost her better half. It was labeled "Nitida" and then crossed out I have a Nitida and it is different from this one.; In addition, the Nitida was not seeding like this one and the seeds were not black. Decumbens have black seeds from what I have seen. I do have a Decumbeans but it is very young still. Some portions of fronds are starting to get the blue coming in and the petiole is not armored. I hope to find some of you who know this genus and can help me identify this palm. Thank you and very nice to meet you all! Thank you to Aztropic for showing me how to make a post haha! Forgive the mess in the backyard

Looks to be clustering, which is a good sign for decumbens and probably rules out nitida.

If so, you've hit the jackpot,  congrats!
