Description
Commonly known as the Nikau palm, is New Zealand’s only native palm species. With its elegant, feather-like fronds and smooth, ringed trunk, it brings a lush, tropical feel to gardens. Slow-growing but highly resilient, it thrives in mild, coastal, and temperate climates. In summer, it produces clusters of small, pinkish flowers that attract birds and bees, followed by bright red berries that provide food for native wildlife. Ideal for sheltered spots with well-draining soil, the Nikau palm prefers partial shade to full sun and regular moisture. A unique choice for adding structure and greenery to any landscape.
