Corte Madera, CA (Zone 10a) | August 2004 | positive
This is probably a zone 12 palm. The only place they survive in the USA are Southern Florida and Hawaii. Its along shot in CA, but if yo...Read Moreu could definatley come up with some creative microlimate to get it to survive, like using the dish you see at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, but otehrwise impossible. One person tried it in Ventura and theres died by November.
This is a spectacular palm and probably one of the fastest growing palms in the world (3' of solid trunk a year). It has intensely spiny...Read More leaf bases, the spines being a bit pale in coloration giving the palm a sort of 'blonde' look. The spines are arranged in linear jagged rows that give a zebra look to the palm. The trunk is a light-green ringed trunk and is straight as a telephone pole. The leaves are arching and have long, wide, slightly pendulous leaflets. The whole look is incredibly tropical and ornamental.
Since the USDA currently lists Hawaii as zone 11, I will keep it as a zone 11 plant for now
