Bangalow Palm Archontophoenix Cunninghamiana /Seaforthia
Excellent landscaping palm. This spectacular palm will be equally happy in full sun or indoor shade. It is also a very good container plant for a patio or large courtyard as its growth will be slowed but it will still be happy and healthy in a pot - keep well watered. Indoor (reaches 1-2m) or sheltered out (10-20m), indirect light, looks good in groups. Protect from winds.
