Easily one of the most beautiful and most rare Copernicia, this medium-sized palm is found only along the dry northern coast of Haiti, where a few small and overexploited populations cling to life in rocky scrubland. They are used, some overused, for thatch and regeneration is poor. It forms a slender trunk to about 12 m tall that holds a dense crown of stiff, light blue leaves. Dead leaves form a thick skirt below the crown if left untrimmed. The slender inflorescences reach far beyond the leaves. Although easy to grow in most tropical and many warm temperate climates, in cultivation it is only found in very few collections. (RPS.com)
