California’s new coconut tree
This recently discovered and commercialized species is gaining enormous popularity in California. It is perhaps the most cold-hardy species within this genus, given that it grows at high altitudes, but at the same time it has the elegant appearance of a coconut tree thanks to its fine trunk, two qualities that are highly valued and sought after by all lovers of palm trees that live outside the intertropical belt.
Habitat: Sandy banks of streams at altitudes of more than 1000 m.
Distribution: High plateau of the interior of Madagascar.
Description: Unicaule, monoecious palm, up to 15 meters tall, with a stylized grayish trunk with leaf scars, bright green pinnate leaves 4 meters long, yellow inflorescence and small, flattened, purple fruits.
