Hello, I purchased a house last spring with several large beautiful palms. I consider myself a gardener but the only palm I have ever cared for is a Sago.
I plan to post pictures of them (as soon as I figure out how) and get the names. Mean time I have tried to link a pic from last year to this post from facebook. Hope it works.
I am fairly sure one is a canary island date palm (or pineapple palm). That one is suffering and I am worried about loosing it. I believe it has been pruned prematurely in the past, and the gaps on the trunk were previously infested. Every gap on the back side of the trunk was packed with mud. I hope it wasn't supposed to be like that cause I cleaned it all out.
While I was doing that, I found many rotten old pruned stems (not sure what to call them), some were hollowed and dry, some filled with pudding texture rotten gunk, and some just crumbled to dust when I touched it.
If this picture works, its the big palm on the left behind the pool. and in the other picture its the palm on the right. (These pictures are mainly of the pool but its all I have right now to work with for now).
If anyone can ID the others in the pics I would appreciate it. Especially the ones in the very corner, behind the biggest palm. They have trunks that look like lattice work.
Ill post more close ups asap.
