Plant description:
Considered by many to be the loveliest palm, but suitable only for subtropical areas. Greyish trunks narrow from a wide base, rising to a smooth green sheath that bulges slightly towards the crown, where 2–3m-long leaves form attractive plumes. As this palm can grow up to 20m tall, it needs a very large garden with plenty of space.
