8 seeds per pack. A vigorous, clumping palm originating from the humid forests of Central America. Thrives in its native environment as an understory plant. Features a slender, cane-like, bright green trunk which closely resembles bamboo. Can reach a height of 6 m / 20 ft in ideal outdoor conditions, forming a lush tropical screen. Tolerates occasional mild frosts to a couple of degrees below freezing. The young influorescences are edible and eaten in salads and soups.
