Kentia Palms (Howea forsteriana) are elegant, slow-growing feature trees native to Lord Howe Island in the South Pacific. With their slender trunks and graceful arching fronds, these palms thrive in both indoor and outdoor settings, making them a popular choice for homes, gardens, and landscaping projects. Mature Kentia Palms can reach 4-15 metres in height, depending on their growing conditions.
Renowned for their hardiness, Kentia Palms tolerate low light, minimal care, and urban environments, making them ideal for both subtropical landscapes and shaded courtyards. Outdoors, they prefer partial shade, as they require up to five years to fully adjust to direct sunlight.
