Some of you may remember my post a while back about the large butia I found in southern Arkansas. I had a chance to visit the palm again and here are some good pictures of it. I have no other information on the palm other than it's old! 
Below is my old post from December 2008 followed by the new palm pics.

On a trip to southern Arkansas over the Christmas holiday, I found what is probably the greatest palm discovery ever in the state. While driving through the small town of Dermott, located in southeast Arkansas on Highway 35, I saw a huge butia growing in a small front yard of an older house. I would imagine the palm is at 18 feet tall with a very awesome trunk. This is something that you'd see growing along the Gulf coast, not in Arkansas. The location of the town is at 33.5 latitude--the same as Birmingham, Alabama...I am declaring this the tallest pindo palm in the state of Arkansas.
