| Positive | koolkatken | On May 25, 2005, koolkatken from Auckland, New Zealand wrote: Have grown several here in Auckland, New Zealand. Seems to take a couple years to establish but once it is, takes off nicely. Handles wind better than Bangalo, though tatters the leaves a bit- still looks okay though. Trunk forms relatively quickly and is prettier than the Bangalo in my opinion. Looks good with 2 or 3 together. | | Positive | palmbob | On Dec 9, 2003, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: Nice landscape palm, not very different from common King Palm (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana) but has more white under leaves, is a bit faster growing, slightly more tender, and has a more prominently ringed trunk. Also has a slightly more upright habit of the leaves (less droopy) and less likely to turn horizontally than A cunninghamiana. Also has white flowers as opposed to purple for common King. Trunk also maybe a bit more narrow. I have to agree with the comment below that this is a more elegant and attractive, and certainly more colorful palm than the king palm, once you start to notice the differences.
This palm is encountered by the many hundreds on the rainy side of the big island of Hawaii and makes the cliffsides wonderfully picturesque. |
