Description

Howea forsteriana, commonly known as the Kentia Palm, is an elegant, arching palm with shiny green fronds. Because of their feather-like appearance, these fronds create a graceful silhouette, making this palm one of the most popular choices for both indoor and outdoor settings.

As the fronds naturally shed, the slender trunk becomes beautifully ringed. Over time, this adds visual texture and enhances its tropical appeal. Native to Lord Howe Island, it thrives in a range of climates between Australia and New Zealand.

Thanks to its slow and steady growth, the Kentia Palm is perfect as a standout feature in tropical gardens. Moreover, it tolerates very low light, coastal exposure, and windy conditions, making it incredibly versatile.

When young, it’s important to keep the palm moist and partly shaded. Eventually, it reaches around 5 metres in 10 years and can grow beyond 10 metres at full maturity, offering lasting impact with minimal fuss
