Positive palmbob On Jun 23, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

THough I have to say this looks a bit like an ordinary Queen palm, but also a bit like a coconut palm (though with a perfectly straight pole of a trunk which is not very coconut like). Tall, smooth trunked palm with smallish head (relative to size of palm) of arching plumose leaves (leaves a bit less plumose than a Queen Palm). I have had several of these die of frost, but my last one has done well (against the house)... so marginal in zone 9b, I guess. One grower has one in So Cal that is about 50' tall and perfect (zone 10a bordering on 10b, though).

Regional...

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

Tarzana, California
Vista, California
