Description:
Adonidia merrillii is a small palm with a very elegant port, adapting to the most difficult conditions such as drought or soil poor in organic matter.
Ideal in a tropical, subtropical garden, greenhouse or veranda, it will produce clusters of bright red or green fruit in December, which has earned it the name Christmas Palm.
