Ken, I've raised both from seed. For me, chinensis is quite fast growing and has rounded leaves that are not deeply divided. Again, for me, muelleri is rather...

... Even in a single location in California, there can be significant differences in queen palm appearance. The ones being planted now seem to be much more...
Ken, I also bought a Livistona labeled L. muelleri about 2 years ago here in San Diego. Looks like the L. chinensis planted nearby. Possibly mislabeled. The...

I am far less knowledgeable on Palms than most on this newsgroup, but I do try to do some of my homework. When I bought my new home in Rockledge FL, I paid...

Thank you Dave, in Orlando. I was just cleaning out some lush Phoenix palms and my pruners can barely get through the stems near the base; very strong, very...
