Pritchardia are a tropical fan palm. Most do not get overly large and many are under fifteen feet tall. Along the coast they tolerate full sun. There are about 25 species with habitats ranging from Hawaii to some South Pacific islands. We only grow the Hawaiian varieties as they do the best in Southern California where most will take coastal full sun. Or, grow them in part day sun. Cold tolerance is in the mid-twenties or a bit lower. Shown below is a very old 25 gallon plant. We do not know the exact species. But, my anticipation is that it will be about 15 to 20 feet mature and can take coastal sun. Age from germination is estimated to be 12 years or more. Of note, we have several of this size available.
