    Eventually a stately tree with 12-15' leaves on a massive trunk, this palm is so slow that it can be happily grown for years as a container plant with its gracefully arching fronds. S/M/GDr (hardy to 20° F.)

    Perfect for a protected patio in the Northwest, this is the familiar palm of Market Street in San Francisco. Large, bold fronds up to 10' long. Containerize for best results as one in five Portland winters will take it out. Even water and food.
