Howea fosteriana - Kentia Palm


Howea fosteriana - Kentia Palm

I trimmed back all my Kentia palms last week. There’s many, but this is the tallest. Photo taken February 28, 2021.

This is an attractive palm, Andy. I like it’s shape and it’s sort of weeping effect.

Kate123,

It’s a very common popular palm here. It usually grows pretty slowly. This one has been in the ground over 15 years from a 5 gallon pot. It’s grown pretty quickly.

I guess it’s the climate there, Andy? It’d take decades here in East Yorkshire to grow to a fairly ‘standout’ specimen.

Klahanie,

I joined the International Palm Society back in 1984. I have a lot of knowledge from the best in the palm business. Lol
