Darren This is Hyophorbe lagenicaulis . One member of a small genus of palms endemic to the Mascarene island. This particular one develops a very swollen trunk particularly when grown in a pot. another member is the "spindle" palm H. verschaffeltii.which is much more commonly seen. They are rated zone 10/11 but the one pictured has survived down to 28 but have alwys covered with frost cloth in temps below 35. and used christmas lights. Grown from seed in the mid eighties and are now developing the swollen trunk but I have no room!! They make fantastic potted plants but will require winter protection, not so bad when in a pot takes a long time for the swollen feature to develop though there are some species of palms that require 50 years to mature !! Palm enthusists are patient?? lol Don't confuse this with Beucarnea often called Bottle palm or pregnant onion not a palm at all!!! gary

hi This should have been in the have side (Early norning, no coffee as yet!!) gary

thanks everybody for replying ..about the red stem I'm talking about ....it is like the seedling of this picture of a bottle palm ( H.lagenicaulis) if you can notice my seedling doesn't look like it :( is there a chance that mine will be the bottle or do I have to purchase again some seed?
