This sought after single trunk palm gets to about 20 feet height, has an umbrella shaped canopy of leaves, a silver ringed trunk, and produces large red fruit. It comes from the mountains on Lord Howe Island, the home of the Kentia Palm. Leaves are green and re-curved. It is stunningly beautiful and tolerates coastal sun and temperatures to about 24 degrees F. These plants are huge for a 15g and 12 years or more old! As this species is slow growing, it’s next to impossible to this species other than as a seedling. Very limited numbers are available.
