Positive palmbob On Dec 24, 2003, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This is the largest of all the Chamaedoreas with a trunk about 3" in diameter and up to 20' tall. It has upright, slightly arching leaves with wide planar leaflets. It's an impressive shade palm, but requires some tall canopy. Once it grows into the sun, it usually fries, at least here in So Cal. It is not a common palm, and most palms sold as this end up being a much more common variety that suckers (this is a non-suckering palm).
