Rhopalostylis sapida Details

Rhopalostylis sapida, commonly known as Nikau Palm, is a fast growing and very attractive Palm tree. From a central trunk it produces large and broad fronds with a gentle arch. They are dark green, handsome, and enables this NZ native to grow to about 10 m tall with a spread of 6 m. Cascades of small flowers in summer result in fruits that are green at first but ripen to a bright red in autumn. These are great for attracting birds. This Palm grows best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site that is frost free. It will take a light frost once established but does require good levels of soil moisture during dry periods, particularly while establishing. Rhopalostylis sapida is highly sought after and very popular. It is a must for any sub-tropical garden or where an attractive specimen is required.
