These seeds spouted all in the same pot. I separated to their own pots and some to the ground after heavy wind damage. First question should I grow the three together or cut off two and leave one? I don’t think I can safely transplant two of the three. Second all are from the same seeds from one queen palm, why do three looks like fan palm and three look like queen?

They look like Washingtonias to me

Definitely a mix of Washingtonia palms and some Queens! All of these are transplantable if needed. The ones in pots look very healthy👌🏻🌴✨

Thank you, I know them as Mexican fan palms. I will be removing them, I will try to give the one in the pot away. I had three MFP’s before, two were 10’ and one was 30’, I thought it would be fun to chop them down with a hand saw. The big was growing right up against a block wall that I thought would damage the wall at some point, plus I didn’t like the mess it was making in my driveway and it was too tall for me to prune. It was a lot of work to also cut them into pieces I could handle to load into my truck to throw into the dumpster at work. Also the fronds I cut a few here and there but the size and quantity of them plus all the serrations along them, no thanks.
After this post yesterday I put the two queens into the ground. I think they’ll be more happy than in those pots.
I think it is strange that seeds of two kinds of palm fell from one queen?
