Description:
This palm has the characteristic of forming several trunks with a diameter of 15 centimeters for a height of 5 meters maximum which gives it an interesting slender shape. It also supports the cold but fears temperatures close to zero over long periods. It acclimatizes well to Mediterranean regions and it grows very well in verandas, for example in colder regions.
