It has dark green, unevenly divided leaves, split about half-way to the petiole. It isn't self cleaning, so the old, dead leaves can form a skirt around the top of the trunk ===General:=== Whilst this palms main claim to fame is its incredible resistance to cold it is also a very attractive palm in its own right. ===Culture:=== This palm prefers cooler, temperate areas, and altho it will grow in the sub-tropics, it will struggle in the tropics. It likes full sun, and moist well drained soil. The seeds are easy to germinate, and the seedlings are quite quick growers. One of the most cold tolerant palms there is.
