Common Name: Finger Palm
Rhapis multifida is an excellent palm for the shadier and warmer areas of California though its cold hardiness is unfortunately not on par with the more common Rhapis species. Some consider this a dwarf form of Rhapis humilis. But this palm does have known native populations in China and possibly Vietnam. This is a particularly beautiful palm for both indoor and outdoor use with very dainty leaves and a nice height limitation. It does very well as an outdoor potted plant as well.
