Hmmmm, yeah I've been looking at them and have now convinced myself the fronds are different. I don't know. I just know we always kept ours trimmed up...not to near bald, but neat. Being on the water they were a haven for rats if not and they surely were filled with roaches in that dead part. I didn't lose one of them in Hurricane Charlie, but I did lose a huge carrot wood tree, and some of my chickee hut, and lots of neighbors lost their pool cages (not me thankfully).
My husband always says they aren't trimmed because of the expense, and we actually heard from somewhere (maybe read on here) that Grandmother Morse liked them looking full, so they won't trim them in her honor.
