KENTIOPSIS PYRIFORMIS SUPER RARE SINGLE TRUNK PINNATE PALM

This is a single trunk, crown shafted pinnate palm native to New Caledonia. Many feel it’s the prettiest species of this genus. It gets to a height of about 40 feet or more and has a thin trunk. Leaves are upright, green and arched. They are keeled and green in color. The crown shaft is a copper color, covered with a white wax. It can be grown in some sun, depending on where you live. It’s probably best to start it in bright filtered light and let it work its way into overhead sun. Growth rate is good, comparable or faster than K. oliviformis. Cold tolerance is down to about a freeze. This is an extremely difficult species to find for sale nowadays. I am offering our 5 gallon size on Special. In the third row of photos is a 25 gallon size previously available. This is followed by a habitat photo by TS at RPS and then a juvenile garden plant.
