Arenga engleri, also known as Formosa Palm and Dwarf Sugar Palm is a beautiful clustering palm, small to medium in size to around 3m. Long fish-tailed shaped pinnate leaves, dark g reen on top, silvery underneath, twist gracefully. Each trunk is covered with delicate black fibres. Evergreen, this palm prefers partial shade and will take quite a few degrees of frost. One of the best palms to display a tropical look. It is still a palm which is not often found in NZ and therefore quite sought after. Indoors provides easy care in average light position. Slow grower. 3.3lt potted at 300mm+ height, outdoor grown in shade position. Show more
