Robusta, huh? I give up guessing unless they're side x side.

Robusta
They are hard to tell when apart. 😉

Heres a good pic for when they are smaller. 😀

If that's a Robusta on the left, I'll eat my slippers 😆 😆 😆

Of cource for the new people, filifera on the left and robusta on the right. 😀

Aaron,
thanks. As one of the new people here, I was about to throw out all I thought I knew about those darn Washies. 😆

Whew! 😆 😆

You can tell it`s a filifera on the left by the deeper and thinner divided segments on the fronds, fatter trunk, more of the cotton fibres, the olive green colored fronds, and lighter orange trunk color. The American cotton palm. http://www.delange.org/PalmNative/PalmNative.htm

Nice link John.
Obviously Aaron hasn't seen that link yet, otherwise there'd be drool all over the picture 😆

While I still have my slippers on my feet...I think the trick is to have at least one of each, and label the beggars so no refreshers are needed. :study:
Thanks!

Mike, thanks...from your most recent trip to FLA?

Seeing his pics and now these, I'm surprised Billy came back.

Beautiful pictures...would have a heck of a time selecting only one as my fav.
