must be enjoying the extra humidity this time of year and perhaps the extra light from all the snow we've had!

Pretty sure those are flower stalks. Is this kind of tree supposed to branch out? Definitely growing something! Cool.

How can you resist taking the dead bits off of the trunk?

Aww, I feel bad for you, extra light from snow. Palm trees help a lot, I think. I know what you mean from where I used to live, the sheer desperation of the prolonged cold, but aside from trying to go somewhere in it, I've always had a blast playing in snow. Hope spring's early this year for you! You probably don't want to hear that I had windows open here yesterday...

I dont think theyre flower stalks, too young. Plus they look rolled up like frond.

Oh and I was advised on a palm forum not to remove the dried frond bases.

Hi Larry..What type of palm do you have? Do you know its botanical name?
I Googled, kamipalm, but peoples' names came up. lol.

From the pics, trunk and stems looks like, Bird of Paradise/Strlitzia.

Hi Purple... Toni

Toni it says in my first post, Chamaedorea metallica. Kamipalm is a nickname for the genus Chamaedorea.
