Very ornamental clustering palmate palm, with remarkably white petioles and undersides of leaves. stems up to 4m tall and 15cm in diameter, and with large, deeply cut leaves up to 120cm across. leaves are much more divided and spread out than in the other Chuniophoenix: nana.  No spines are sharp edges on this plant.  Stems are about 4-5cm in diameter. This palm grows to well over 10' tall in a tropical climate, but it is unknown how tall it can grow in a Mediterranean climate such as Southern California, where its growth rate is a tiny fraction of what it is in the tropics.

This is one of two species of Chuniophoenix, and though it is the larger one, it is by far the more slow-growing.  Palms take many years to even reach 4' in height, which is only 1/2 or less of their potential height.  It is surprisingly cold tolerant handling temps in the mid 20Fs for extended periods of time with little or no damage.  I don't think the true low temp is known yet.  It likes a lot of water, and is not too happy about full sun, particularly in inland climates.  Wind shreds the leaves a bit, but it is surprisingly tolerant otherwise.

A very special palm from Hainan Island, China which everyone will want to grow. It is probably one of the best palms for container growing and is excellent in the conservatory. In warm temperate to tropical areas, it makes a superb specimen palm and with its deeply cut fan-shaped leaves, it resembles nothing more than a huge Rhapis excelsa. However, in summer, large bunches of bright red, cherry-size fruits are produced, transforming it from the merely unusual to the frankly spectacular. Bushy in habit, its maximum height is only about 10-15 feet. (RPS.com)

Habitat and Distribution

Chuniophoenix hainanensis is found only in the Sub-tropical rainforest on Hainan Island,
South China Botanical Garden.
Southern China. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Description

Very ornamental clustering palmate palm, with remarkably white petioles and undersides of leaves. stems up to 4m tall and 15 cm in diameter, and with large, deeply cut leaves up to 120 cm across. leaves are much more divided and spread out than in the other Chuniophoenix: nana. No spines are sharp edges on this plant. Stems are about 4-5 cm in diameter. This palm grows to well over 10' tall in a tropical climate, but it is unknown how tall it can grow in a Mediterranean climate such as Southern California, where its growth rate is a tiny fraction of what it is in the tropics. (Geoff Stein 17:52, 18 September 2007 (PDT) Editing by edric.

Culture

Southern California experience: This is one of two species of Chuniophoenix, and though it is the larger one, it is by far the more slow-growing. Palms take many years to even reach 4' in height, which is only 1/2 or less of their potential height. It is surprisingly cold tolerant handling temps in the mid 20Fs for extended periods of time with little or no damage. I don't think the true low temp is known yet. It likes a lot of water, and is not too happy about full sun, particularly in inland climates. Wind shreds the leaves a bit, but it is surprisingly tolerant otherwise. (Geoff Stein September 2007)
