RHOPALOSTYLIS CHEESEMANII MEDIUM SIZED - GRACEFUL & BEAUTIFUL PALM

Of the Shaving Brush Palm family, this is the hardest one to find. And, many think it’s the prettiest and most desirable species. Some consider it to be a variety of R. baueri. We like to consider it a species. Native to Raoul Island, an island well off the eastern side of New Zealand, this species has a medium sized trunk and reaches a height of twenty five feet. The crown shaft is gorgeous but not as swollen as R. sapida. I have some customers who report the crown shaft being a purple color. On younger plants the leaf stems may shown colors of red to purple. With age they are a brown-green. Leaves are green and arching. Trunks are prominently ringed. It will take coastal sun or part day sun. Some grow it in strong filtered light. Far inland it needs protection from full sun. Growth rate is slow to medium. We’re putting n two sizes on Sale. The last photo is c/o cloudforest website.
