Rhopalostylis sapida (35L), commonly known as the Nikau Palm, is a magnificent New Zealand native (10-15m) with iconic feathery fronds and a smooth green trunk. Ideal as a dramatic specimen for tropical or coastal Auckland gardens. Grow in partial shade to full sun in moist, humus-rich, well-draining soil. Hardy and slow-growing, it prefers sheltered positions protected from hard frosts and strong winds.
