Positive palmbob On Jun 12, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Smaller, clumping (sparsely) Arenga from India. Grows up to 3000 feet elevation, but despite that, still extremely marginal anywhere in southern California (rarely tried since seed is hard to come by). Has long (15') arching leaves with long, stiff, premorse (bitten off ends) leaflets.
