Neutral palmbob On May 28, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Larger suckering species with a bit neater habit than some of the other suckering Arengas. Leaves long but mostly upright- some arching. Leaflets bright green, long and narrow with premorse ends (looks like they were bitten off) and powdery whitish on the undersides of the leaves. Terminal leaflets are wide, though and quite ornamental. Plant forms a dense thicket.
