Those Trachies indeed look excellent. Much better than mine. I have a few palms that look like that Phoenix there in the last photo. Looking forward t...

Paul--any chance we can get you to shift careers to palm molecular systematics? Butia, Sabal and Trachy all desperately need you! Cam--I'd heard that,...
