''P. insignis'' seedling.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-7 columns"> ===Common Names:=== Pinang Palm<br/> ===Distribution & Habitat:=== Naturally found throughout the open forest of the Philippines. ===Description:=== The tallest species in the Pinanga family, this solitary palm can grow to heights over 30 feet (10 metres) tall. The trunk is a glossy dark green with light brown leaf scares, leading up to the bright purple crownshaft. The purple crown and the green trunk give this palm a nice color contrast. The crown consists of 6-10 long evenly arranged green pinnate leaves. The seeds turn bright red once ripe, adding even more color to this palm. ===Cultivation:=== This palm enjoys a sunny, moist area where it can get a good helping of full sun during the day. It is a water lover, and should be watered regularly to insure it will not dry out. This palm is cold sensitive and should be kept in Zones 10-11 (Tropical/warm sub-tropical). Any temperatures under the mid 30"s F (3°C) will cause serious damage. Seedlings prefer a moist shady area where they will get watered every day. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Pinanga_insignis02.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
