I love the filifera this size! I used to think unless a palm was towering over you and 50-feet-tall, at a minimum, then it was just a boring little nothing. Well, I obviously didn't appreciate how stunningly beautiful the palms were up close and personal. I also have seen these palms plenty in person and you immediately realize how TV and pictures just doesn't do them any justice. In person the palm is absolutely strikingly handsome. The thing is when you're just driving down the highway in Los Angeles, for example, it's hard to get a sense of scale with these palms, and especially the even taller Washingtonia robusta varient. And when these palms are towering over your head at 5, 6, 7 stories tall... Again, you have no perspective and a sense of scale is lost because at your eye level all you see is a featureless stick with a little pom-pom way up at the top. It's just not impressive because it's so out-of-scale. But when you're face-to-face with this palm, and it's only a little taller than you, and you can take it all in at the same time... you see the gorgeous coloration of its trunk, with the lovely thatching of the old frond bases inter-lacing their way up the trunk... and you see the massive petioles... stiff and strong and thick and sturdy... And you see this gigantic fronds. The first impression you get when you see this palm up close is... "Wow, I had no idea the fronds were that damn large!" That's what I said to myself. Everyone thinks this. My dream would be to have a bunch of filifera palms in my yard, with most in this size range, to maybe 30-feet-tall. But no taller. When they get taller than buildings they just lose all proportionality and scale and all you end up having is a stick, or a pole in your yard, and its boring. Unless you kink your neck you can't take it all in. You'd need to be 200 feet away to take it all in. And then, you're now too far away, and the problem of scale and proportionality is all back again. Oh, nevermind. I'll shut-up now. I just like talking about palms.

Beautiful. Looks to have Robusta in it....notice the red teeth on the petioles. Filifera has green teeth. This looks mostly filifera

C est n est pas un filifera mais un robusta sur a 100% la couleur des pétioles rouges ainsi que les épines saillantes sur toutes la longueur sont caractéristiques des robusta.

Nagyon szép kert! Kérhetek egy e-mail címet? Szeretnék kérdezni pár növényről, amit én is szeretnék ültetni a kertbe. Adrián.
