Silver med? Or in between?

Post by Stan »

This is from a pee wee golf course I spent much of my teenage and 20 years jousting on. Hadnt been here in decades. I wonder if this is Cerifera Med palm? It must have been planted in the 1960's as the golf course was built.

not a Chamaerops var aregentea if that is what you asking... but there is a wide range of leaf color and looks of leaves in normal Chamaerops... some have silvery undersides, some stiff and toothy, some limp and leggy, so have narrow blades, some wide etc.

Still in the range of plain species then? Ok. Would be nice to have that ancient one in my yard.
