Rhopalostylis sapida (Auckland)

The most southerly distributed of the Palmae family; these stunningly beautiful palms have a classic feather palm shape with a humongous bulbous crownshaft colored and impressive bright lime green. The leaves are stiff and erect with very closely spaced leaflets. The trunk is very closely ringed and ornamental. It is a moderately slow growing palm but once it forms a trunk they pick up speed a bit. Their fruit is bright red and a striking contrast to the lime green crownshaft just above where the fruit stalk erupts. These are simply gorgeous palms and a must for any serious Palm collector! We sell this rare palm in 5 gallon pots
