The Bottle palm or Champagne palm is from a small island called Round island. There were only eight surviving plants of this beautiful palm when it was discovered. All the plants that we know come from these eight plants. A native of the Mascarene Islands near Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Mature trunk height is six meters. Leaf crown is 2.5 meters wide and tall with few artistically held leaves. Leaves 6-12 are feet long and much arching to the point that they from semi circles. Petiole is short 25 to 30 cms inch long and stout at its base. Grows in a relatively small space. Plants do best in full sun light. Ideal for planting near poolsides and water bodies.
