Palm fashion
This is the new fashion in Brasil, a multi headed phoenix roebellini , who can guess the wholesale price of this plant ?
There was at least 10 plants like this in the nursery, I dont know how they are created, some were butt ugly, others beautiful.

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid. I can only think they have grafted growth points onNigel wrote:This is the new fashion in Brasil, a multi headed phoenix roebellini , who can guess the wholesale price of this plant ?

Re: Palm fashion
Looks top heavy/cumbersome to me. All this wind we been having lately would, more then likely, snap the crown

Re: Palm fashion
I think it would look nice if used at the rear of a border of tall planting which would hide the point where the trunk segments but that part of the palm is hideous.
I reckon the wholesale price for that would be around the £1500 - £2000 mark?
Interesting pic though, thanks for sharing.

Re: Palm fashion
No thanks. Weren't they a clustering palm anyway before they came into cultivation?
Re: Palm fashion
kris the cultivated form is solitary, but the wild form is indeed clustering, however,they divide from below ground so its very strange. They seem to do this in the plantations in the mountains on borderline of hardiness so I am guessing its caused by freeze damage.
Re: Palm fashion
Yes, I'd imagine it works much the same as multi-headed Cordylines where some damage to the growth point cretes multiple trunking heads.
