Douglas Hunt on Nov 17, 2013The top looks like a pindo palm (Butia capitata) but pindos do not have smooth trunks. Can you supply a photo of the entire tree?Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Nov 18, 2013Joy's suggestion is a good one. Its hardiness would be iffy in Orlando though. It would help to see the rest of the trunk.Helpful Reply

Leona G on Nov 18, 2013Syagrus romanzoffiana: Queen Palm - EDIS edis.ifas.ufl.edu/st609 Fairly common in FL but susceptible to a hard freeze. Price would depend on size and healthHelpful Reply

Leona G on Nov 18, 2013I have seen it in the Villages which is zone 9A, which is as far as I know. The books say zone 10 but a lot depends on your micro climateHelpful Reply

Joy Schwartz on Nov 22, 2013Christopher?? Where is this palm located? I wouldn't remove anymore fronds. It's a large specimen, so it could fetch a nice price. Some landscapers/tree trimmers have nurseries.. and they might be able to take it off your hands.. and you'd get paid also.Helpful Reply

Joy Schwartz on Nov 23, 2013Christopher, Because of the maturity of the palm it is worth more. It is risky to move and surprisingly heavy. Very heavy. It could be a majesty palm, very mature(old). A solitary palm does make a nice statement, Just transplanting one without the right equipment is difficult. Palms have been compared to a grass blade.. and they damage easily on the trunk. Their wounds don't heal up like a hardwood tree. That's one reason why tree trimmers no longer climb palms with shoe spikes. The holes from the spikes created wounds that didn't heal. If you leave it, there are solar powered spot lights that would make a dramatic statement right where it is. Good luck in your new digs.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Nov 24, 2013That looks like a majesty palm to me. Judging by the foliage color it is possibly Ravenea glauca. Definitely not a job for an amateur to move.Helpful Reply
