Palmate, Alexandramou:

It's actually quite common to see multi-headed Pygmy date palms. Many times there's a lot more branches.

Unfortunately, this palm was overly pruned. Dwarf pygmy date palms usually have many fronds and are usually very full.

That is why it looks so unnatural.

Dottydaisy2:

Yes.

With so many millions of palms here...unfortunately, over pruning is a common practice. (it saves money-- however, it can kill some palms). :>(
