1. N. vanhouttianum
Height: 25 feet
Size of Crown: 12 feet |
| Cultural requirements and other comments: This is a great palm
for a residential landscape. Arching leaves with wide pinnae and whitish leaf sheaths make this a great choice. Although the
juvenile palm has many spines on the trunk, these spines are lost as the palm grows toward maturity. It can take full sun at an
early age. |
