It's a fan palm of some sort, Marianne ....... which one would be a complete guess ...... Shirls, do you have two, or did the one get a trim up? Is it a European Fan Palm??? |

I did think it looked like a palm tree, but not the same as any palm tree that I have ever seen.

Marianne Marlow and Hezz - you have raised a query with me now that I can't answer and will have to research. I do not know what sort of palm tree it is and I have researched it on-line and cannot seem to find one the same. However, I have seen one for sale in my local garden centre. It was about 1/4 the size of mine and was £99.99. Next time I go in there (which will be next week) I shall make a note of it's name (providing it is still there of course). I was hoping to look it up and come back and tell you straight away what it was called and pretend to be really clever. As you can tell - I am not!!! The tree was here when I came (2 yrs ago now) and it has had one haircut since I have been here, just to tidy it up a bit. It does flower - very tiny little yellow flowers on a huge stem, well, they're more like little balls than flowers really. They drop everywhere when dying off.

I'm sure that you don't have to pretend to be really clever Shirls  |
