"I think the Nitida is definitely a more interesting palm to have in a collection. Robusta are often considered a trash-palm due to their abundance. When assessing purely on beauty, I like the Robusta better when it is young as you have these large, bright green fronds that provide a great contrast with the dark red trunk. However, I think that a mature L Nitida that is well maintained beats a Robusta in beauty!  \n\t \n\tI attached 2 recent pics of my Livistona and Robusta (about the same age). As mentioned, they have struggled through exceptional cold and now heat&amp; drought with very little help so they don't look great-great.  \n\t \n\t~ S  \n \n\n \n "
