General
Description:
|
This is a must have in most gardens, but
is not the easiest species from New Caledonia to grow.
It has a lot of color and is very tropical looking. It can be
grown in most gardens in Southern California but does not want to
dry out and is subject apparently to rot.

Other
Notes:
|
In the wild this palm can vary greatly in
how it looks. I saw tall and short, light and dark, suckering
and solitary versions of this one palm tree. It is truly a
magnificent palm.
