This rare pinnate, crown shafted and thin trunked palm tree is from the Solomon Islands. Most growers comment that this species is very similar appearing to Ptychosperma elegans . It gets a height of up to thirty feet with a four inch thick trunk. Leaves are about five feet long. Leaf color is green. The crown shaft is silver-green. Compared to Ptychosperma elegans, this species is:
faster growing
taller
has wider leaflets
has larger leaves
It is a part day sun species and has a cold tolerance into the mid to upper twenties F. Perhaps one could grow it in full sun right on the coast. It is rarely available. I’m offering nice one gallon sized plants on special for ten days.
These plants should be easy to mail order. Limited availability. Both singles & multiples available. The last garden photo is c/o TS at RPS.
