Kerriodoxa looking good from above

One of  my absolute favourite palms in the garden is the Kerriodoxa I planted 20 plus years past it has faired quite well taking neglect and still looking good I never really noticed it until about 5 years past when it started to get a bit bigger they do look good small but nothing can beat one once past the juvenile age I will be planting more in the garden

That is a beautiful looking palm. The dainty petioles and wide , full fronds probably means it doesn’t like too much wind , just a guess. I haven’t seen one in our area. Harry

It’s a beautiful palm black petioles no thorns they don’t like wind and love water they will tolerate dry conditions but essentially they like it wet I have one thousand of them so no shortage of planting material to work with.

Looking awesome Richard.
 

If you ever get to Phuket Thailand go and take a look at them in the wild. I went in 2012 through a forest trek in the middle of Phuket. Nobody was there and the path had been washed away in places. It’s a very humid rainforest environment full of Caroyotas, Pinangas, and I seem to recall Arengas. The Kerriodoxa are in a deep valley ravine right next to a stream, with their roots definitely right in it. The soil there is that rich red Asian volcanic mud with humus intermingled in. The Kerriodoxa  there are the largest I’ve seen which is to be expected, maybe 10m max. Huge leaves, long black petioles. A beautiful place and way off the general tourist track. We got a minivan there and asked if the driver wanted to come. He said “No no” and sat in the van with the air con going waiting for us to return a few hours later. Definitely worth the effort and an unforgettable place.
