Coccothrinax crinita
[Coccothrinax crinita ssp.crinita] ' Old Man Palm '
[ Palmae ]
[ Cuba ]
This magnificient palm has a slim trunk that is thickly covered with long, dense and woolly, pale brown fibers, giving the palm a most bizarre appearance. Once past the slow seedling stage, it grows faster than might be imagined. It thrives in most warm temperate and tropical areas and will even take a short, light frost without damage. It prefers a sunny situation and needs well drained soil. Makes a fascinating potted plant as well. Seeds are always rare and in short supply, so hurry.
