Adonidia merrillii, Veitchia merrillii
CHRISTMAS PALM PRE-SPROUTED SEEDS (Growing)
The Adonidia palm is commonly known as the "Christmas palm" because its fruits become bright scarlet and tend to be that color in winter. It is also sometimes described as the "mini-royal-palm", or the Manila palm.
It is widely grown in cultivation, and adapts well to landscaping and cultivation, as well as growing in pots. It is able to withstand large amounts of rainfall and can tolerate short droughts. It is sometimes used as an annual in places that freeze in the Winter (for example, Times Square, New York City plants these for the warm-weather season). It is also one of the most commonly planted ornamental palms in the world, often planted in non-tropical locations such as shopping malls, hotels, casinos, and other higher-end establishments due to its ability to adjust to lower light conditions and dry indoor air. They are self-pruning palms and require little to no maintenance.
They are hardy to 35F when young; 30F when mature, making their perennial outdoor usage limited to frost-free zones. One of the most common landscape palms in Southern Florida (used at such places as the Miami Open tennis tournament), it is often clustered together in groups of 2-3, sometimes four.
This palm is typically fairly small and slender, normally attaining 25 feet or 8 meters in height. Most plants maintain 5-7 fronds when young, gradually building up the crown as the palm ages, and sometimes reaches 10-12 fronds when mature.
Seeds per packet: 2 sprouted (growing) seeds
Note: These seeds are large, and will have extra freight charges as they do not qualify as a regular bubble envelope and are consider a parcel rate.
