| Cultural requirements and other comments: This palm can be
visually appealing, with its large, vertical twisting leaves. The leaflets are deep green and broad. The most appealing aspects
of this palm are the black crownshaft which contrasts nicely with the light brown trunk, green leaves and cream colored flower
stalks and orange fruit. A real landscaping beauty, it has similarities with Dictyosperma, Veitchia, and the Coconut Palm. This
palm grows best with plenty of water and some shade when it is young but tolerates full sun at maturity. |
