Ivory Cane Palm

Pinanga kuhlii or Ivory Cane Palm as it is commonly known, is a very attractive evergreen clustering (multi-stem) palm. Thin slender stems are smooth, pale green to ivory in colour and ringed with scars from old leaf bases. Leaves can be up to 1.5m in length made up of wide dark green pleated leaflets with blunt tips varying in lengths. Young leaves can often be pinkish in colour and lightly mottled.

Relatively easy to grow once established, it is a highly adaptable palm, tolerating dry atmospheres and low light levels as well as bright filtered light making it perfect for adding all year round greenery inside the house as well as out.

Native to Indonesia, it is frost tender though encouragingly mature specimens may take an occasional mild frost for short periods of time.
