Syagrus Schizophylla. Arikury Palm.

The Syagrus Schizophylla Palm is very graceful and elegant palm. This exotic neat looking palm only grows to around 10-15ft, has a short slender trunk below a dense upright crown of dark green arching pinnate leaves 1-2m long with leaflets all on a single plane. This is the one of only a few Syagrus with teeth along the petioles. The Arikury Palm starts flowering while still young and produces inch long coconut-like fruit.

These attractive palms do quite well indoors if given lots of light and good circulation and can tolerate quite a fair amount of neglect, or perfect for growing on a patio or terrace in a container so it can be moved to a frost free place over winter.
