I'm a magnificent palm tree famous for my unique, bottle-shaped trunk that bulges in the middle, creating a distinctive silhouette that's both architectural and beautiful.
Landscape designers and palm enthusiasts adore me for my extraordinary trunk formation, slow-growing nature, and the instant tropical sophistication I bring to any setting.
I'm perfect as a specimen tree, in tropical gardens, and around pools — anywhere you want to create a focal point that says "luxurious paradise"!

I originally come from the Lord Howe Island in the South Pacific, where I'm endemic and considered a precious natural treasure.

Water me regularly during my establishment period to develop a strong root system.
Once established, I'm moderately drought-tolerant but appreciate consistent moisture.
I prefer deep, thorough watering rather than frequent light sprinklings.

I thrive in full sun to partial shade — 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal.
I can adapt to various light conditions but protect me from intense, all-day direct sun when young.
My beautiful trunk develops best with adequate sunlight.

I'm comfortable in temperatures between 15°C and 30°C.
I'm sensitive to frost and need protection from freezing temperatures.

Choose a spacious location with well-draining soil

Dig a hole twice as wide as my root ball

Plant me at the same depth I was growing in the nursery

Water deeply after planting

Mulch around my base, keeping it away from the trunk

Provide wind protection for young palms

Give me plenty of room — I can reach 20-25 feet tall!

Feed me with a slow-release palm fertilizer 2-3 times during the growing season.
I particularly need magnesium and potassium for healthy frond development.
I'm a moderate feeder — consistent but light feeding works best!

I'm non-toxic and safe around pets, making me a worry-free choice for pet-friendly gardens!

I'm excellent at improving air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, while my graceful fronds help filter dust and pollutants from the air!

Unique bottle-shaped trunk for dramatic landscape interest

Slow-growing and manageable size for residential landscapes

I'm a slow-growing but long-lived palm that can grace your landscape for decades — typically 40-60 years, developing my characteristic bottle shape as I mature and becoming more distinctive with each passing year!
