Comments and Curiosities
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), edric.
