CHAMAEDOREA ERNESTI-AUGUSTI VERY ATTRACTIVE DWARF SHADE PALM

TYPICALLY NOT OVER 3 FEET TALL

Over our 45 year existence, I’d estimate that the nursery has sold several thousand of this very popular dwarf palm. Typically we recommend putting in a small colony of them. They look great like this and will get staggered heights. Most garden plants are not over 3 to 4 feet tall. The first two rows of photos show our one gallon size on sale. The last row shows older photos of either five gallon size or one of a 30 year clumps that are mature and flowering. We’ve found this species to look best when planted as a small colony of three to five plants. A name sometimes used for this species is the “Whale Tail Palm”. This species likes shade and has simple, non-divided leaves as shown. Cold tolerance is about 25 degrees F. For some reason, no seeds have been available lately, so it’s a difficult plant to find. These are young plants in bands and are small but all that’s around right now.

These are easy to ship and four in one box is no problem. Just remember to mention this Special for the reduced price when you purchase.
