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

Rare and endangered species from the little Hawaiian island of Molokai, whrere only a few adult individuals remain. It is a mod sized palm with large, semicircular barley split costapalmate leaves (have a crease down the center). The leaflets are pendant once they split off. All the petioles arch a bit and the entire lower leaves tend to droop a bit. There is almost a bluish color to the leaves. The leaf bases are covered with a very light brown tomentum. Not sure if this palm has been tried in southern California yet, but it should do OK here.
