Positive palmbob On Dec 1, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Attractive large deeply split-leaf fan palm from Central America- looks a lot like S mauritiiformis, only leaves have a slightly more glaucous look underneath, and tree itself somewhat more robust (though I have trouble telling the two apart). This plant is less common in cultivation than S mauritiiformis. For me, in southern California, it has been a reliable grower, but a bit slower than S mauritiiformis, as least as a seedling.
