    Hi,
    I live in a condo building built in the 70s with a large atrium with palms under skylights. I am attaching a picture of one of the palms.
    They have almost reached the skylights and we would like to plant more to help fill in the gaps once the mature trees have to be removed.

    Is this an adonidia palm? One plant 'expert' told me its a bottle palm.
    Most Adonidias I have seen have 3 trunks at the base. These palms are mostly singular though some do have younger palms sticking out near their bases.

    I hope you guys can help identify it. Let me know if you need more pics etc.
    Thanks

    Imran
