1. P. leddermaniana
Height: 30 feet and possibly higher
Size of crown: 8 feet |
| Cultural requirements and other comments:
An attractive and almost formal looking palm with
beautiful arching leaves that do not descend below the
crown line. The stem or trunk is no wider than four
inches and the crownshaft bulges at the base and is an
attractive light to olive green in color. Would be an
excellent landscape palm for Kona and would make a great
replacement for the Solitaire Palm. |
