Hey everyone!! I recently saved a palm tree from a dumpster, the palm was also bare rooted with few roots. The palm has long fronds and thin leaflets. It is around 5 feet in height. Can anyone identify this palm tree??

Hey John!
It looks like either a Kentia or Chamaedorea. Can you get a better lit pic of the base of the leaves?

Sure, I will post it tomorrow because I have to go somewhere. I'm coming back at 12 pm.

Here are the photos

Looks like an Areca palm to me.

I was also thinking that!!

All it took was a clear look at the petioles. Yellow with black spots =Areca

You mean these black spots? I thought they were a disease.

I thought it was a majesty palm at first!!

My Areca for comparison:

My palm is still going through transplant shock. It's now drooping a bit.

hopefully it survives!!

Just goes to show that not all black spots are a disease. Keep it warm and moist (oh so difficult for you ) and it will recover eventually.

It also needs tons of stakes to keep it upright due to the 2 large fronds that sway in the wind and moving the entire plant.

I found that using slip knots, you can adjust to how far you want it to stake it.
