I just got home from Mexico A few days ago its was very sunny and warm I was about 20.5 degree N of the equator. The hotel has been going a bit palm crazy as well the last couple years which suits me just fine. Hope you enjoy the pics.
These look like Trachy's but the fan does a full 360 there is no thorns but the trunk is identical to my trachy. Any ideas?
Xmas palm
Coconut Palms and Travellers Palm
Travellers Palm
Travellers Palm and Washingtonia Robusta
Any idea what this is?
Queen Palm
More to come.

Hi Teebee,
Greetings from Oakville.
I think the plant that you asked about is a Pandanus sp. Not a real palm but can look like one. It may grow many trunks. Its fruit is used as 'kewra' water in the Indian cooking, it is quite fragrant.
It is a great house plant.
Take care,
Rob

Eye candy!
My Trachy doesn't have thorns; don't think any Trachies do.
Agree with the Pandanus ID...also commonly called Screw Pine I think.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

CORRECTION: tiny little teeth, almost unnoticeable until you forget to wear gloves. 😆

The pic of what is thought of to be a Trachy looks to me to be mature Chinese fan palm with a trunk. Teebee did you get any seeds? Great pics.

My wild guess on your mystery palm is a Chit palm.
AKA Florida thatch palm/Thrinax Radiata.

Good guess, but it would help to know where in Mexico. 😆

Mayan Riviera 15m south of Playa Del Carmen. My favourite place on earth. When I decide to pull the trigger on a place there I can have all the palms I want and not worry insulating them. Xmas lights will become just for decoration not a key for survival.

Love that area, too. For my trips to Belize, I catch a cheap flight to Cancun and take the bus to Belize. I spend a night in the Maya Riviera area on the way down or back.
As for Christmas, grow "christmas palms" there. Bright red berries for Yule. 😀

Funny that a whole bunch of xmas palm seeds fell into my suit case the last couple years I have a few 1' high xmas palms now...
One of my favourites.

Great! I've found them easy to germinate, but all of mine have died before getting to that size. 😕
