Phoenix like palm at our hotel on Madeira has puzzeled me for a few
years. www.roselandhouse.co.uk/palm.htm As it has matured it has a much
thinner trunk than P. canariensis, its not P. dactylifera or P.
roebelenii as I know them. Its off spring are growing here in Cornwall so
not very tender (although being young I am still protecting them) they
are somewhat more chunky than seedling P. canariensis.
Anyone any ideas?
