A native of Chile, this massive palm makes a bold statement wherever planted. It's think, muscular trunk domiates the landscape, reaching heights of 80 ft and 3 ft in diameter! Very cold hardy and drought tolerant, however, does not like salty locations. Used locally for wine making, though this act slowly kills the tree.

A very slow grower, but once it goes pinnate (only a few years from seed) it is a very pleasing palm. Some say the the Florida heat and humidity reduces the life span of this mighty palm, but either way I have it growing in my landscape. We have several 3 to 5 year old plants that will belisted for sale very soon.
