Positive palmbob On May 31, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This palm may be extinct in the wild, and its true identification is questionable. It was described originally 50 years ago from areas of jungle that don't exist anymore on Madagascar (very few still do). Solitary tall palm (up to 50') with olive green crownshaft and upright leaves and leaflets on single plane witha bit of droop at the tips. This palm has been grown in many gardens in southern California, but it is slow and I don't think there are any trunking specimens yet. Has a nice pinkish color to the new leaf in some individuals.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Oceanside, California
