    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A much thought of cabbage palm (e.g., "Gee whiz, I wish I could grow this one...”) from the high, cool elevations of New Zealand's South Island. Leaves, sometimes over 5" wide, show more stripes of color the closer you look, and glow on a generally unbranching trunk to over 8 ft. In the Willamette Valley prefers a north facing aspect, cool gritty soil, even moisture and, for survival, protection from baking summer heat. Cold hardy to below 18F, upper USDA zone 8.
