    Hi,

    I have these 2 nice palms in my yard that I wouldn't mind getting rid of before they get too big, which they will.

    I would like to know what kind of trees they are first.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Palm 1:

    Pic 1

    Pic 2

    Palm 2:

    Pic 3

    Pic 4

    Pic 5

    This second palm also has fruit on it which I recently cut down.




    Also I would like to know if there is a type of palm that:

    - Looks just like the second Palm I have above.
    - Does not bear fruit.
    - Does not grow too tall preferably 3m to 5m.
    - Is available in Australia.

    Thank you,
    Ken!

    Ken, First palm is some sort of fan palm, but you may have kown that, sorry can't help with the id. Second one is more than likely Alexandra or Bangalow palm.
    All palms fruit at some stage mate

    the first one is a livistonia chinensis ( or australius), and the second one is a king palm or bungalow palm

    peace

    p.s. sorry about the spelling
