General
Description: |
This palm is similar to a Kentia palm (Howea
forsteriana) except for it dramatically different leaves. It
has been grown with enormous success throughout California. If
you like Kentias, yet want something different, Howea belmoreana is
the way to go.
|
|
Other
Notes: |
This palm is certainly more rare than its
sister palm (Howea forsteriana), and different looking. Many
trees around California have set seed. This is a great and
easy palm to grow.
