Christmas Palm (Adonidia merrillii)              

Natural Habitat: Philippines.
Characteristics: Reaches around 50 feet in height, but more like 30 feet in most areas outside of habitat.  The grey trunks graduate into a glossy lime-green crown shaft (neck) that is usually 1-3 feet long, and 6-8 foot long curving leaves.  The leaflets form a "V" shape if viewed from the right angle. 
Cultural Requirements: Grows indoors if it receives light, or outdoors in a sunny spot.  It does best in humid areas, especially the tropics.  It needs a sandy or rocky soil that drains well.  Fast growing.
Cold-hardiness: 32-35 degrees F.
