Is it a triangle palm?

Btw, tag said it needed medium light

Hi. Looks like a Fishtail palm. Caryota spp.

great work bob. i see the resemblance...

Anyone try these inside?

Caryotas have bipinnate leaves, the one in the photo definitely doesn't. My first impression was Foxtail, Wodyetia bifurcata, I'd say it definitely is.

i think tropicbreezent nailed it
did you buy it?

Your first mistake was asking staff for help with something alive.

The palm is a Foxtail, Wodyetia as identified above. Good indoor palm.

Yes, fish tail palm. No, you can't edit your posts. Major short coming if this website/forum.

No, not a fishtail palm.. .Foxtail palms (multiple)

I would say its too early to tell. Obviously they almost look identical (when young) and have similar names. I'd say just pot it and wait. either way you got the beauty!

No, certainly not too early to tell. Caryota have bipinnate leaves forming well before they reach the size of those plants in the photos. And you can clearly see them in the photos on the Jungle Music link quoted in the post above.

I have seen foxtails sold in pots of three at HD and L's and Caryota (Fishtails) are naturally clumping. I agree that Fish tails have bipinnate leaves but this picture has been bothering me and I can see the reason for the confusion. Is it possible that what we have planted in this pot is two Foxtails and one Fishtail? The taller palm in the center seems noticeably paler green in color-- Foxes tend to be a much deeper green. Also, look how the leaves are divided on the taller palm in the 3rd picture presented. It does look different than on the other two. My conclusion, I think we have a mix and match planting here!

Definitely foxtail...all three. No doubt.

Center palm still looks like a Fishtail to me. If the center one is a Foxtail, why are the leaves divided like that? The other two, which are definitely Foxes, are not split. My Foxes don't look like the center palm but some of the fronds on my Fishtail do.

Definitely not Fishtail. By that size they're all well and truelly bipinnate. I have several clumps of Fishtails, from 5 metres tall down to 0.5 metres (plus dozens of bird spread seedlings, they're terribly invasive). They show their distinctiveness quite early.

I have 2 foxtail palms, one about the size as the ones in these pics, one about 13 feet tall. The younger one looks exactly like the one in this pic and the older one is begining to look a bit more like what you'd expect a true foxtail palm to look like. But the palm in this picture is definitely a foxtail palm.
Fishtail palms have many more leaflets. They dont even look like palms at that age!

I have two young foxtails in my yard that look exactly like this. The coloring, the leaves, the white residue, the black fuzz. It's exactly the same. I went and looked just now and I even have a couple split leaves. I just wish I could get my cat to stop using the trunks as a scratching post.
