Saribus woodfordii, formerly Livistona woodfordii, is native to New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. We have 3 specimens planted out at Leu Gardens and they have shown some cold hardiness despite the tropical origins.

This one was planted in Aug. 2005 from a 1 gal. pot;

I didn't know it was sunken into Saribus--FTBG still says Livistona. Thanks for the nomeclearup. I have this palm and it is neat--reminds me of a thorny Thrinax.
