scotstock Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Can anyone please identify this tree, seen in Auckland Botanic Gardens without a label? Thanks for any help! Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagery by Charly Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 It looks like a Sago Palm to me. They can grow up to like 20' and their base (trunk) is thicker than other palms. Though I'd just call or email the Gardens and ask them to identify it for you. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustydingo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Impossible to tell at this size (and sans flowers/fruit) but it looks a lot like a clumped growth of several Phoenix canariensis (which would be a rather uncommon thing to do deliberately by the way). The tallest central tree is definitely different to the lower, but that may be naught more than an indication of the differing ages of each tree. dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
