Does anyone recognize these? I would describe these seedlings as robust and bullet proof, they look great after 2 years of complete neglect. I think these get real big. My own guess is Raphia farinifera.

Thanks Tim, I do think it’s farinifera because it was a solitaire palm that I got the seeds from.
