Neutral palmbob On Aug 19, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

not one of the more ornamental palms- looks more like an anemic queen palm. But some well grown specimens are beefier. Has large seed for a Syagrus. Thin, tall, smooth ringed trunk and plumose long arching leaves. I think this species is from Brazil
