    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    New Zealand native, from dense forests with lots of rain, this the furthest south growing palm and this collection from the southernmost area in which it grows. A lover of cool coastal conditions. To 15-20 ft or so and very s-l-o-w-l-y... Frost hardy briefly into the teens F. Sun along the coast, dappled shade inland and summer water in dry climates. The perfect plant for Brookings, Oregon.
