Mushybanna, Terratoonie:

Great photo!

Thanks! This palm is Roystonea regia - Cuban Royal palm native to Cuba. Cuban Royal palm is a very quick growing palm...widely grown throughout the world in tropical and warm subtropical climates. It's a very popular palm here in Southern California.

Mushybanna, was this photo taken close very close to the beach? I noticed, what appears to be a little bit of salt burn on the lower fronds.

Yes if you turn round 180 the sea is just there..:o))

Mushybanna:

I guessed correctly. : > ) The Royal palms close to the ocean here look the same way. The salts from the ocean air accumulates on the leaves...and if it doesn't rain for many months (like in San Diego), the salt burns the leaflets.

You are truly the King of palms.. palmate:o)))))

Mushybanna:

You're too kind!

Well, I guess all those years active in the International Palm Society (since 1984) have paid off. : >)

Palmate:
Now i understand .. ..a member of the IPS ! name Delonix1. Its all clear now .Agent delonix1 of the IPS on covert Palm tree operations .LOL...Hehehehe..:o)))))

Mushybanna:

That's funny! : > )

Palms are my true love! It's the reason why I have too many of them. Want a few dozen? LOL!!! However, Delonix regia - Royal Poinciana is my favorite flowering tree in the Fabaceae (leguminosae) family.
