| I agree, definitely Archontophoenix alexandrae. They are beautiful palms and it should look really nice when all your landscaping is finished! -Alex |

| Thanks alot. It definitely looks like an Archontophoenix alexandrae. The People at the nearest nursery that sell Palms said to me its definitely a Bangalow but then a landscaper told me it was either an alexandra or royal and the nursery was just trying to sell me a palm lol. |

| The Bangalows don't usually have that swelling at the base of the trunk like Alexanders do. I doubt it would happen in Melbourne, but if you get flowering the Bangalows are a purple and the Alexanders a white/cream colour. Many people would assume the Bangalow to be more cold tolerant and therefore more likely where you are, and that's probably what happened with the nursery. |

| It looks like an Alexander palm, but there are several types in the Archontophoenix palms. It could also be an Archontophoenix Myloensis or an Archontophoenix Maxima. I have small ones of these in my yard in zone 9b Sarasota Florida. |

| It has the form of Alex palm..but I don't see a lick of silver underneath the fronds. Could be A.tuckeri or a hybrid of Alex and a Bangalow. |
