When you said coconut look alike, I was thinking Beccariophoenix, but they arent that common in Florida and they dont really look like that so my guess is that its a really green pindo palm! The petioles look exactly like my pindo palm and so does the trunk. The fronds are just so much greener than any pindo palm I have seen (and I like the look!)

Another nice find!! I wish I could get that lucky :)
Man, all these nice looking coconut look-alike palms make me want to post "can you spot the real coconut palm" post-lol

I'll wait when my coconut palm is much bigger and out of its container to make it a little harder :p

Nope, not a Butia. It is related to a very tall, common palm (same genus, different species).

Syagrus schizophylla

good id!

Syagrus schizophylla is a beautiful palm! Ive never seen one in Florida, but Im sure they are growing in many botanical gardens and backyards with tropical-loving gardeners!

I have a Syagrus Schizophylla here in my sub-tropical Florida yard lol. It made it through the terrible 2009-2010 winter pretty well. Ill show an updated photo later.
