Botanical Chambeyronia macrocarpa
Common (Red Feather Palm)



Image Source Botanics
Typical Height: 20'
Salt Tolerant: Low
Growth Rate: Slow
Zone: 9-11

COMMENTS:
A native of New Caledonian forests of low altitude and high rainfall, this palm does very well in our climate. It requires well-drained soil, and shade when young, after which it can take full sun. It has been noted as being quite cold-tolerant at Fairchild. It grows slowly, producing only four to five leaves a year. However, these are a brilliant red when newly expanded, a reward for patience. (Not every specimen has this trait.) It is a graceful plant, with a slender ringed trunk and an open crown of only a few arching fronds. The crownshaft is a dark, lush green. Flowers are pink to cream and the fruit is crimson.
