Moriche Palm is a single stemmed palm...however, I think they may have put many seed into one pot. This palm is extremely rare here in California...and I don't think it can be grown outside. It is considered an equitorial palm which is native to the swampy areas of the Amazon...and will not tolerate temps below 70 degrees F/ 21 degrees C.
