One strange palm

[Kentuckypalms]

Living in Kentucky. I’ve seen many fake palms. Some stranger than others. I saw this one today. What are the strangest fake palms you have seen?

Those actually aren’t too bad. I’ve seen MUCH worse. This was outside a mall here in Southern California where palms grow everywhere! HarryPlasticarium Phonicarpis

This is one topic I never expected to see here! This is hilarious. Who does that @Harry’s Palms!!! 🤣 Hey @SeanK and @JLM any of these Palms would be appropriate for your zone 🤣🤣🤣 . Sorry I could not resist, this forum could use some more lightening up IMO with a bit of humor 👍😁 !!

I've seen a few that looked like W.robusta trunks with pinnate leaves in the crown. There's a Starbucks with a couple outside and I've seen similar inside of malls. Also seen plastic palms that resembled Chamedoreas in someone's yard.

Personally, I'd prefer folks stick to S.minor under Live Oak or Bald Cypress.

@SeanK good choice ! I like your taste in palms. Harry

Those look like a cross between a Rhopalostylus, a Ravenia and a Washingtonia. Not bad....

I don't have a picture of them, but a local chain of Latino supermarkets has fake (what look like) roebelenii at each of the checkout stands. They actually look pretty decent lol

The sign reminds me that, I recall beer selling at $6 a pitcher.
