Chambeyronia macrocarpa is a truly stunning Palm from New Caledonia that throws gorgeous new red leaves. It is highly sought after by enthusiasts.
The most stunning characteristic of this genus is the colour of the newly emergent leaves. For several weeks they are a red colour, anywhere from dark burgundy purple to a lighter pink. Thus, they have acquired the name of "Flame Thrower Palm". Mature Chambeyronia are a stunning addition to any landscape and have become one of the most sought after species.
A feather solitary palm to about 6-7 metres, with a spectacular, bright red new leaf, which stays red for up to 10 days. The leaflets are also very wide, thick, and shiny, so even without a new leaf it is very distinctive, with very fat and thick pinnate leaves, 10-12 feet long. Slow growing but easy to grow, this is a must have in the garden.
These palms are bag grown from seed and hardened off outside through summer and winter.
RARELY AVAILABLE
Height approx. 1.6 metres from the bottom of the bag to the top of the palm fronds - in 25 litre easy lift bags.
These will take off once they are in the ground.
Protect from frost and strong wind while in juvenile state.
Photo sample is of actual stock.
PLEASE NOTE - Can be shipped or buyer can pick up from Whitianga. We do come through to Auckland and Hamilton on a regular basis and can drop off these palms to you if you are in these locations.
