Common Name: none
Dypsis nodifera is a fairly marginal palm for most areas of California, and does best in coastal gardens where these is plenty of shade, wind protection and no freezes. It is a very wispy, slow-growing palm with thin leaves and a similarly skinny stem. A few maturing palms exist in California but it is overall a very rare palm in this state.
