| Positive | On Jun 4, 2004, palmbob from Acton, CA (Zone 8b) wrote: Very tall (up to 100'), attractive palm with straight branches and pendant leaflets. Trunks up to 2' in diameter. From northern Australia and islands north of Australia. Can grow in large groups and makes for a fantastic backdrop. Seedlings look nothing like adults, having wider leaflets that aren't pendant. |
