General
Description: |
A handsome pinnate palm that likes heat and is
becoming quite popular. It can grow very slowly if in cool, damp
environments. But, it tolerates some degree of cold. For
those lacking heat, it can be a less than satisfying growing
experience. For this reason, mostly recommended for growers
not right next to the ocean. |
Other
Notes: |
Interesting fibrous large seed. Also, great
hybrids with other genera are becoming availble. |
Further
Data: |
Interesting hybrids have been done with Veitchia |
