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

Very good palm for Southern California where it can grow in nearly full sun even inland a bit- the most sun tolerant at an early age of the Pritchardias in my experience. THis palm is slow to grow, but it has a nice, dainty trunk and flat, pleated leaves with very little if any drooping at the tips of the leaves. The large fan leaves are split less then 1/4 way down and elegant. This palm is from Kauai.
