This elegant palm grows tall and slender with a trunk wrapped in a mesh of tan fibers. Its rounded leaves form a tidy crown that flashes silver on the undersides whenever a breeze passes through. The canopy stays compact and well-balanced, making it a standout landscape palm. Small, pale flowers appear among the leaves, later followed by red-to-purple fruits. In the wild, it thrives on rocky limestone hills and coastal plains where few other palms can survive.
