Positive palmbob On Jun 14, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

from the Big Island of Hawaii, this skinny trunked palm with overly large 4' leaves grows up to maybe 20' in it's native island. It is a very slow palm, though and doubtful it will get that tall here in So Cal, where it is pretty rare. The dark green leaves are split about 1/3 their length and the tips are irregularly pendant. THe leaves are nearly semicircular.
