Chamaedorea ernesti-augusti - Tuna Tail Palm

It has lovely ribbed leaves .

Yes, the fronds are gorgeous! It's a very ornamental palm for pretty shaded areas.

It certainly is . No doubt it not hardy but is tropical.

It's a beautiful palm and very similar to Chamaedorea metallica (Metallic Palm), which is smaller. I have both.

It is a beauty . I ve just taken a look at the Chamaedorea metallica agree it does look very much like it.

The fronds are smaller and more shiny, though. The stature is much smaller. I have some that are almost 6' (2 m) tall. I purchased them around 1995.

I think it nice having different sizes yes I did notice one was more shiner than tge other it dine well for its age then in your weatger.

Chamaedorea metallica does have metallic, shiny fronds.

Yes I can slightly see a shine on it perhaps its the light when taking a photo .
