When large, very easy - Jubaea has a smooth trunk; Phoenix canariensis has a very rough trunk.simon wrote:When large, they can be difficult to tell appart without a close look at the leaves.
Yes, I was going to clarify that statement as "large but trunkless" as I know the trunks are different but you don't see many trunked specimens to compare them. When small they seem to have a different habit but that may be because the mass produced CIDPs are forced and streched. The main difference is that on Phoenix canariensis_CIDP the leaflets are V shaped but on Jubaea they are inverted ^.Conifers wrote:When large, very easy - Jubaea has a smooth trunk; Phoenix canariensis has a very rough trunk.simon wrote:When large, they can be difficult to tell appart without a close look at the leaves.
