    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A cold hardy palm good to Zone 9-11. A beautiful lady palm. A more elegant form of Rhapis excelsa but just as cold tolerant. The fan leaves are split into more segments than Rhapis excelsa with very slender trunks. To see a photo of a mature Rhapis multifida go to http://www.pacsoa.org.au/palms/Rhapis/multifida.html
