| I purchased some bottle palm seed but when they grow they lacked the red colored stem so what do you think this palm will be? |

| Too early to tell exactly what it is, but it definitely does not have any notable bottle palm characteristics so I don't think it is even in the same genus as bottle palms! I hope it's a nice palm anyways! It looks healthy so far. -Alex |

| Do you mean Hyophorbe lagenicaulis? I wasn't aware that their seedlings had a red stem. But any seedlings at that size can be very difficult to positively identify, especially if you feel the seeds were mislabelled. |

| Hi This is one I grew from seed the bottle form takes about 5 years to develop and varies considerably between palms. Don't ever remember any red at any stage. Are you thinking Chambeyronia?/ The develop a changeable red frond with some age. gary |
