Chamaedorea woodsoniana | BIG

Look at those trunks! Green, fat and healthy. These are showpiece palms, already about 2m tall, that will transform your garden in one fell swoop. These beautiful Mexican Green-trunked palms lend an especially tropical look and are at their most attractive in moist, shade or part-shade conditions - which is great news for most Kiwi gardens.

Woodsoniana is one of the largest of the Chamaedorea family, in terms of both its potential height and the diameter of its trunk. It is a solitary palm but looks at its best when multi-planted (this particular batch of palms are all either double or triple-planted), or interspersed under high shade trees if planted outside. Relatively fast growers, nice and hardy and vastly under-used and appreciated in NZ. Get amongst it.
