part of the petiole is more 'ragged' on a white bird.

g'day james,

looks like a 'travellers palm' aka 'ravenala madagascariensis' more of
the banana family not of the palm family, if so you will be able to
seperate them no problems.
snipped

But it's not. It's a white bird of paradise. Strelitzia nicolai. Yes you
can
divide it. Try a Yahoo search for more details.
