I got this from the Nov palm sale in Fairchild and wanted to know what sub-spicies. I planted it under a 35 ft. power line.

I can't help you with the species. But if you mentioned the 35 foot power line because you are concerned about height --- Don't worry unless you plan on living another 200 years --- and probably not even then. :D

Thanks for the nice photos.
 
I am posting new pictures of the same plant taken this week.

Gloria - you lost the tag? Coccothrinax are difficult to id without flowers, seeds and being an adult. Even then it is precarious. Who did you buy it from? What was the length of time between the pictures. If it is relatively fast for a Coccothrinax it could be C. alta or C. barbadensis. If it is fast and gets a real fat trunk then it is C. spissa. :rolleyes:
 
Moose,
I got it during the SFPS sale at Montgomery. It was given to me free and I planted it this Feb. It seems happy and has grown fast.

Ron,
I have another Coccothrinax Barbadensis which I purchased from Claude. It should be interesting to compare the two as they mature. They are both planted very close together. I will post a picture of the other one soon.
