Surprisingly for a palm tree coming from a tropical island, Latania lontaroides will tolerate temperatures down to 1 degree for short periods of time without damage.
Due to its very slow growth, Latania palm trees reach maturity (in hot climates) after 15-20 years, longer in temperate climates like our own.
In NZ, the Red Latan should be kept in a bright room, or better still a conservatory. Keep the soil moist during summer and apply a balanced fertiliser during spring and summer. It can be kept outdoors during summer in a sheltered position.
Description
Description
The Latania lontaroides is native to the Island of Reunion where it is now classified as endangered. A very ornamental palm with a rounded crown of large fan-shaped stiff leaves. When young the leaves, petioles, leaf margins and veins are all tinged with a reddish colour. As they mature the leaves do lose this colour and turn to green, although it can take up to 15 years. The leaf stems and leaf margins do however retain the colour. The Red Latan Palm is slow growing with a solitary trunk, which is relatively smooth but lightly ringed by leaf scars of old leaves and is slightly swollen at the base.
Exhibits a high tolerance of salt, these palms also make excellent pot plants when young. Plant in well draining sandy soil in a sunny posisition. A really attractive palm to have.
