Mature palms are handsome, stately, difficult to transplant. Where winds are strong, plant in lee of buildings to prevent damage. Young trees can’t take frost; mature plants may stand 28°F/–2°C. They tolerate shade and can grow for many years grouped under tall trees. Old leaves shed cleanly, leaving smooth green trunks. Feathery leaves.
Trunk not prominently enlarged at base. Clustered amethyst flowers are handsome in summer. Highly recommended for nearly frost-free areas.
