Kentia Palms - Howea fosteriana

Love the look of Kentia Palms and the fact that they're relatively low maintenance compared to many other palms.

Mine in the backyard is now just about seeable from the street over the house. I planted it in 1993. It makes seeds. But its fronds are sort of gray color I think the heat of roof causes that but not sure.
Are those ten from your garden?

Bushbernie,

Yes, Kentia palms are very ornamental and easy to grow, they do like regular watering, though.

Stan,

Yes, the 10 or 12 Kentia palms are in my front yard. I have a total of 15 or 16 Kentia palms in the front yard.

These palms get burned practically every year during the bad heatwaves. They receive reflected heat off the red tile roof, which they hate!

I have some baby Kentia palms from the seeds from the larger palm. I think it took over 4 years for the seeds to ripen. Typically, it takes 4 to 7 years for Howea fosteriana seed too ripen.
