Rhapidophyllum hystrix (Needle Palm)

Sun to Light ShadeZone: 6-10 100" tall Origin: USA

The hardiest of palms, this slow-growing FL native has withstood -9 degrees F here with NO damage (without protection or special siting). We expect established specimens should handle -20 degrees F. This short-trunked clump-former has typical cut-leaf green palm foliage and sharp "needles" at the base to protect the seeds...very rare! In marginal climates, plant needle palms early in the season and protect them the first couple of winters until they become well established. Some growers also prefer to dig them up and keep them indoors until they are larger. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
