-I would just like to add to the list by saying that I have had 2 bottle palms in the ground for 4 years now in the Phoenix, Arizona area (33 degrees 40...

Hi Karen, Is there anyway you could take some photos of this for me? Several close ups and such? I would love to be able to post this on my website. Reply...
Just curious if there is an expert handy on shaping or trimming huge date palms. I have a beautiful, old date palm that has been trimmed but never shaped....
Washintonia robusta is a beatiful palm, but washingtonia filifera may be much more pretty. i have been importing these trees from Egypt, but now days i just...
Fellow scientists:^) I'm not sure I can explain why palm seedlings can grow to produce fruit that is fairly reliably true to the parent tree's fruit. Or does...
... Dates i think come in various named sorts, rather like our apples. I am sure everyone knows more about this than I do. I recall eating the first named kind...

Denis, Hermine is right, there are palms that have been selected for fruit type, but basically it is just a handful of species... Phoenix dactylifera, Bactris...
Denis: At least one possibility is the difference between monocots and dicots. Another is what you mean by "true". Without any empirical knowledge I would bet...
Interesting subject! Coconuts, in this country, are raised primarily for ornamental uses. I bet if more people actually ate the fruit, we would have more...
