It is similar to that plant- but grows mega tall.
I'll get some pics.

I disagree about the trunk tie off. Giant Birds of Paradise are extremely top heavy. I had the rigging line just below the head of it and between the 3 of us on the job, it wasn't clear if the head weighed more than the rest of the trunk. So rather than talk about it for 5 more minutes, I spent 1 minute to add the rope. No harm in that, right? (or am I wrong? that happens sometimes)
I like using the slash cut. I'll give it a go next time I'm doing this weird plant.
I've hung whole trees, too. I find a lot of joy in doing so, in fact
I cleaned up one side of a phoenix palm last year, it was growing over the fence line and stuck a couple of people and the owner wouldn't do anyting about it. Got a call for another job there today and when I got there it was gone.
Turns out the owner liked what I did so much he decided to do the rest himself, ended up in hospital for a week.
A Phoenix like a Canary Island, and people wonder why I don't like doing palms.
