This is a relatively new palm to cultivation... from Bolivia. Sometimes known as a dwarf Queen palm, tops out at a max height of about 15'. It is from a moderate altitude, so it should have some cold hardiness, and I am testing it now in a suburb of Los Angeles... I have about a 4 year old seedling and so far it is a very slow but steady plant... however, it does spot when it gets 'cold' in winter (low 30s), so I am pretty sure it's cold hardiness will be exceeded by many other Syagrus... or else it will become hardier as it ages. As an adult, it looks a lot like a Queen palm with long, arching fronds of plumose leaves (seen from a single photo). This is a rare species, and is possibly critically endangered.
