A fantastic view looking upwards, Stan! Fifteen years and you've been 'patiently' waiting...they are well worth the wait!

Stan,

Are they Archontophoenix cunninghamiana?

5 Jan, 2022

 

Yes. King palms or aka Bungalow's. The one has an especially fat trunk.

They look very healthy.

Thanks Andy. It also turns out that they are ignored by gophers. I think that explains why they and Howea are standards. Other palms gophers will feast on.
