Positive palmbob On Nov 4, 2003, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This Central American native is another wonderful CHamaedorea for Southern California. It has an ornamental tightly ringed trunk and holds a large crown of leaves (often over 6) relative to other Chamaedoreas. The leaves are bifid (unsplit), have paralell sides and are a very deep green. This is a dainty palm and is best in smaller, shady, uncrowded warm, moist gardens. It easily gets lost in a busy landscape.
