===General:=== This very dark green shiny leaved African palm makes an immensely large highly attractive shade palm for any large garden or park or as an avenue palm, especially the non-commercial selections as they are lighter fruit bearers. Very fast growing from seed in ideal tropical climates, fruits before it trunks. Used commercially for the production of high quality palm oil, which comes from the seed kernel. Plantations of this palm now cover vast areas of Malaysia, which has become the worlds leading producer of this oil. This has unfortunately tarnished this highly attractive, magnificent palms image as vast tracts of tropical forests are being destroyed for monoculture to produce palm oil. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns">
