HEDYSCEPE CANTERBURYANA FROM LORD HOWE ISLAND

SILVER CROWN SHAFT – SILVER TRUNK
UMBRELLA SHAPED CROWN OF LEAVES
ONE OF PRETTIEST PALM TREES AROUND

We have available some nice 15g plants of Hedyscepe canterburyana. This single trunk palm has a silver crown shaft, silver trunk (in shade) with prominent rings. It is native to medium elevations in the mountains of Lord Howea Island (home of the Kentia Palm). It is single trunk. Mature height is about 20 feet. They fruit here and seeds are large and red in color. Along our coast here it takes full sun but also does well in part day sun or strong filtered light. Trunks are beefier in sun. Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees. When folks see this plant in person, most agree it is one of the most desirable palms around. We are putting our 15g size on special – shown in first six photos. This size is about six years old. The last photo shows the blue-silver trunk on a specimen in my own garden. Important – they are slow growing!

The 15 gallon size is shown in the first six photos. Of note, we do have smaller sizes available.
