Help needed to ID two palms - and whether they are the same

Miami Cuse
4 years ago

I am located in south Florida zone 10b. There are three palms in fairly close range. I will call them Palm A, B and C. Palm A is a large established palm, and Palm B and C are new growth about ten feet away which I am trying to determine if they may be babies of Palm A.


First, pictures of Palm A. Here is an overall view of the palm. It is a cluster with multiple trunks, the tallest about 25' tall. I was told this is a "Fishtail Palm". Can someone confirm?



Now, a few closer images.



It seems to be a clumper with new shoots coming up from the existing base.





Is it possible to separate these new shoots in order to plant more of this at another location?


Now some images of Palm B and C. I think these are NOT babies of the clumping fishtail palm correct? The leaves look different to me, these leaves while truncated are much longer and feather like. However, this is the closest mature palm near them and I don't see any other palm nearby that looks related.







So, are the small Palm B and C also fishtail palm (if that's what Palm A is)?
