is not a palm in the Arecaceae family but has become a popular ornamental container plant. They can live to be over 350 years old. Its habitat is in low deciduous forests, growing on rocky slopes and cliffs. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. A relatively slow grower can reach 15-20 feet tall in a tropical setting but will only get 6-8 feet tall and 3-5 feet wide inside in a container.

The flowers will bloom from older species and are creamy white. Most indoor plants will not produce flowers. It prefers to grow in full sun and is drought tolerant. Zones 10-11
