Culture

Fast grower in Florida 10a-up.

"One of the hardiest and most cold-tolerant Pinanga's. Requires a semi-shaded or shaded position with regular water." (Luke Nancarrow)

Comments and Curiosities

"Clustering species from southern India. Has nice golden to pale yellow crownshafts. Supposedly has a modicum of cold hardiness, but not aware of anyone growing this in southern California. Looks a bit like Pinanga elmeri, which does grow here, though. Clusters can be somewhat spread out as plant sometimes spreads via underground stolons. (Geoff Stein)

Even though native to the Andaman Islands east of India, this pretty Pinanga has proven to be one of the most robust and cold tolerant in the Genus. It is a clustering palm with green, ringed trunks to about 5 m (15 ft.) tall and yellow crownshafts. The leaves are light green and have attractive, broad segments. Best suited for the tropical and frost-free warm temperate garden. (RPS.com)
