Description
Rhopalostylis sapida—New Zealand’s elegant nīkau palm—is a slow-growing evergreen that thrives in moist, sheltered shade, where its fronds stay luxuriously full. It will tolerate more exposed sites, though foliage can appear sparser in full sun. For maximum visual impact, plant several together, and be sure to shield young palms from frost, as they are sensitive to cold.
