This is one of only four unique palm species which are endemic to Lord Howe Island. Part of the Australian territory, this island lies 600km east of the state of New South Wales & has a sub- tropical climate.
The Big Mountain palm has a strong handsome appearance with a stout trunk, prominent silvery crownshaft & strong recurved leaves.
It can tolerate the occasional light frost once established. It needs a rich organic soil, and shelter from sun for at least the first five years. It also does well in containers or as indoor plants where light is good.
It is slow to grow & also relatively rare in cultivation, hence it’s high price point.
Prefers full sun, but will tolerate part shade.
Medium wind tolerant.
Will tolerate light frosts only.
Grows to a height of 10 metres (approx).
Excellent indoor palm.
Requires little moisture and is drought tolerant.
