I’ve had this for years, and forgot the name.  It stays green year-round, and doesn’t care about the winter one bit.  Thanks in advance.

Meryta balansae from New Caledonia.  I was able to get seeds a few times in the mid-2000's and distributed plants at that time.  It's done very well in California, and to a lesser extent in Florida.  Always looks great, a much better option than pseudopalma imho.  Has produced seed here as well.

Thanks Peter, I think I got this from you 10 or so years ago.  As soon as I saw the latin name in your post, I knew that was it!

I'm going to offer it for sale, if anyone wants to PM me about it.
