Carnavon Gorge Palm - Live Plant in a 10 Inch Growers Pot - Livistona Nitida - Rare Ornamental Palms of Florida

This beautiful and stately palm is probably Australia's most attractive Livistona. It has moderately costapalmate, glossy, bright green fan leaves in a spherical, moderately dense crown. The leaf segments are lax and deeply divided and give the leaves a slightly weeping appearance. The ringed trunks can reach up to 25 or 30 m (80 to 100 ft.) in height. L. nitida grows in the mountains of southern Queensland to an altitude of about 1000 m (3300 ft.), and, in cultivation, is fast growing, tolerant of drought and quite heavy freezes, and easy to maintain. Zone: 8A-11 Typical Height: 40-50ft.
