just bought this house and it came with these 2 overgrown cycads/palms
that look like they belong by someone's pool. I would like to have them
removed but I am contemplating the value of them, so I would like to know
what they are and if they are possibly worth something if moved. Thanks.

They are beautiful Palms. I would love to have trees like that. Why
move them?

I live in The Woodlands, Texas and the palms just don't fit in. A universal
opinion around here is that they are an eye sore. They would go fine around
someone's pool, but not in a front yard. Even my new neighbor says they
should go. My coworkers have joked me that my first party will have to be a
palm tree removal party! LOL

I wouldn't want them anywhere in my garden but certainly not so close to a
window.

I agree with Joevan - they are very beautiful and healthy looking.
Why move them? My husband would give his eye teeth to have
these palms growing in front of our house. Pam

I suspect you might well be made an offer :-)

My daughter lives in Brownsville, nearby there's the Sable palms park,
preserving then only palm native to Texas. Slow growing, unlike the
imported ones. But some people like those interlopers, so advertise, you
may even get a few dollars for them. Let the buyer pay for the front end
loader and the flatbed. ;-)

Good luck!

PS We have one as a houseplant in the foyer. Not warm enough, nor a big
enough pot, so it usually has only two or three fronds. Can't recall the
name, though.

The big ones look like a Palm - Phoenix robellini the small one in front
is a Cycad - Cycas revoluta.
You might want to find a better place for them though, the Palms are
blocking the view to and from the house
If they were in my yard and I didn't want them I would try to sell them,
or give them away, they are easy to move.
I would take the Cycas off of your hands :-)

Hi,
Palms yes P. roebelenii no. For sure a young P. canariensis or perhaps
one of the other large Phoenix species.

HTH -_- how

I see young P. canarienis and roebellni here in the Monterey Bay area
and the narrow leaflets made me think they were roebellini. If they are
canariensis they get way too big for their location
