The difference is in the male connector on the bottom of the part.  The
shorter version appears to be the same as the taller, just 4LDU-worth of
connector has been removed.

The current version is the shorter.  It's used in set #8247, Road Rebel.

The longer version grips about 3x better, when trying to separate the parts
by bending them sideways.  This could be important, if your palm trees are
in a hurricane.
