Name That Plant!

2 Palms and 1 Palm looking tree...?

11 years ago

The two are obviously palms but I don't know what kind. We need to remove them and want to know the type so we can see if anybody would like to take them (if they survive)

The third one is palm like and I though it was a bottle palm...but after seeing pictures of a bottle palm I decided it's not. The leaves are different and the truck is even fatter than a bottle palm.

I would appreciate the help. Thank you!

In the south they call them hillbillies, up here in Michigan we call them upers, as in upper peninsula. The thing is they're in the lower peninsula as well. They go by the name "Michigan Millitia" I'm glad they don't post our address on here lol.

From my experience of palms, I would, with no hesitation get rid of them. Apart from the viscious thorns and poisonous fruit, if Costafinca's ID are correct, they just LOVE underground storm water and sewage pipes.
The ponytail (Beaucarnea or Nolina recurvata) is not related to the palms in any way and is a plant I had growing in the garden of my place in Queensland (before the local Power station bought it out from under me, but that's another story. :-) ) Its roots are fibrous and non-invasive. Masses of small white flowers and one I would gladly have again, if I had the room in my current garden.

I would, accept all three in a heart beat!
The ponytail plant grows well in a large pot, so you may consider keeping that one...

Those pygmy date palms take a long time to grow that large and I would expect to be fairly valuable. I bet you could get someone to take them out for free if you allow them to keep them.

I suspect the middle tree(s) are Ravenea rivularis.

Thanks for all the input guys! Yes these trees look fairly valuable due to their age/size. My husband and I are not fond of palms so we will see if a local nursery would want them.
