Post 29, that palm there. You are saying that it is not a Pheonix canariensis but another, I did some Googling and notice on the canariensis the butts (petioles) are not stacked on top of each other and are a little more compact.

This link is to a picture and you can clearly see the difference.

Are we sure about this or did you just have a "dud"?

Worth finding out, I'm curious, maybe Boa's got a PDF.

Exactly....
These two are the same tree....






These two trees are the same.......







What i noticed was that behind the "Canary" is meat....

With the boots spread apart the "Jewel" is alot of dirt...

Only Difference i see is size and that One is in Australia and One in south Florida....

Interesting, there's slight variations of queen palms, and when you have been cleaning them a while you notice the subtle differences just as you have with these.

Here's a great link to the many we see, well worth a look.

I didn't have the same luck with the Pheonix's though, maybe they're "duds", I'm still looking though.
