RARE NEW CALEDONIAN PALM
THIN TRUNK AND WHITE CROWN SHAFT
About 45 minutes out of Noumea (the capital) of New Caledonia is Mount Koghi. This is the home habitat for this species. It has a thin to medium trunk, a white crown shaft and gets to about 25 feet tall. Leaves are pinnate, slightly arched and sometimes red emergent. It’s very beautiful and does great in Southern California. Most grow it in part day sun. Cold tolerance is into the mid-twenties F. The plants on sale are very old, nicely sized 15 gallon. Some are even bigger than shown in the photo below.
