Livistona nitida
Carnavon Palm packet contains 5 seeds and germination instructions
This beautiful and stately palm is probably Australia's most attractive Livistona. It has glossy, bright green fan leaves in a spherical, moderately dense crown. The leaf segments are lax and deeply divided and give the leaves a slightly weeping appearance. The ringed trunks can reach up to 25 or 30m (80 to 100ft) in height. L. nitida grows in the mountains of southern Queensland to an altitude of about 1000m, and, in cultivation, is fast growing, tolerant of drought and quite heavy frost, and easy to maintain.
