Native to Australia
A delightful palm wich has exploded in popularity as is now widely planted in many countries. Plants have proved to be fast growing and adaptable. Best growth is achieved in drier tropical regions but success has also been gained in the subtropics. Plants demand good drainage but seedlings will take hot sun from an early age. Ornamental features include a slender, closely ringed, columnar to slightly bottle-shaped truck, graceful, arching, densely plumose fronds, a slender crownshaft and colourful clusters of large, orange-red fruit. The species occurs naturally in the Queenland Australia. It grows in loose, granitic, sandy soils among huge granite boulders. The climate is tropical, with a prolonged dry period.
