Me, too! Name this palm, please.

19 years ago

I just moved, and these trees are living in the yard. I'd like to have them removed, but don't know what they are. I'm thinking I'll offer

them for free for digging up- but if it's a dime a dozen kind of thing, maybe no one will want them?

Just curious.

Thanks!

Many stalked thing looks like areca or cataractarum (their cheap) palm tree looks like a Windmill palm. You could get 200 - 300 for something like that. Id buy it if I didnt live all the way up here in PA. Oh the other thing looks like a yucca or spider plant (cheap too).

The last one is a Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia Robusta). Its a very common palm. Not sure about the others but they all look like common plants that don't have much value.

That's kind of what I was thinking... I really didn't want to dig and trash if they would be of interest to someone, but didn't want to waste time offering them if no one would be interested, you know?
The previous owners had the inclination to use this stuff as landscaping, but it's just not my thing.

I appreciate the help!

Good luck digging the last one out of the ground. You may need to hire it done

My guesses:

#1 Draceana marginata
#2 Dypsis (Chrysalidocarpus) lutescens or butterfly palm
#3 Washingtonia robusta

All very common in south Florida.

The Windmill Palm (#3) looks like it may have a bunch of sapplings under it. I'de take a bunch of them and pay postage for them.

The second looks like P.roebellini and the last is a W.robusta.

I would keep #2 and trash the others. No one will pay for #1 or #3.
