Rhopalostylis sapida Auckland
Nikau Palm

This lovely palm has received much publicity in recent years, and with good reason: it is one of the few crownshaft  palms that can be considered even remotely hardy, and its feathery leaves add a really exotic touch to the temperate and cool subtropical garden. Easy to germinate but slow growing to begin with, it speeds up as it gets older, finally producing what is surely one of the most handsome palms of all. Coming from New Zealand, it thrives in moist conditions in deep, rich soil and is happiest in shade as a young plant. Mature trees can tolerate -4°C / 25°F or so. Our seeds were collected from populations in the vicinity of Auckland.
