A popular, but expensive "red palm" was used by my landscape designer around my swimming pool, and front yard. I have not been able to find its scientific name, or location of origen.
It seems to be in the areca family, except that it grows strictly vertical, and has many more sprouts at the base that first turn down into the soil, then turn erect to make a new stem. It flowers and produces seeds much less than the arecas, and the seeds are small (size of a pea) and dark when ripe. The striking feature is that the main trunk is dark green, and the entire petiole is dark chinese red. The leaflets are also dark green.
Does anyone know this palm?
