The Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana) is a classic palm variety, loved for its elegant arching fronds and slender, smooth trunk. Native to Lord Howe Island, this slow-growing palm brings an air of sophistication and tropical charm to any space, whether planted outdoors in gardens or kept indoors in decorative pots.
The Kentia Palm is incredibly versatile and hardy, thriving in a range of environments, from coastal landscapes to shaded areas. It can grow to 10 metres tall outdoors, making it an excellent shade tree or privacy screen, while its slower growth in pots makes it ideal for indoor use. With its lush, tropical appearance and low-maintenance requirements, the Kentia Palm suits a variety of garden styles, from tropical to formal landscapes.
Perfect for driveways, feature plantings, or indoor décor, the Kentia Palm tolerates full sun, partial shade, and drought conditions. Its timeless beauty makes it a highly sought-after addition to gardens, resorts, offices, and homes worldwide.
