Hailing from a small group of islands east of Madagascar, it's virtually extinct in its native habitat due to its tasty palm heart. D. album also known for its ability to endure salt and very high winds. A highly desirable trait when you landscape in hurricane prone coastal areas. Unlike a Washingtonia that requires a chainsaw to maintain a clean appearance, D. album is a self cleaner which is especially appealing when it reaches maturity at 30’!
Zones 10a-12 1 gallon pots, palms about 18-24"
