This local form from the East Cape area of New Zealand is quite similar to the famous and rare Nikau growing on Little Barrier Island, though a bit smaller. Plants form a very large trunk and a gigantic crownshaft. The crown is large and spreading and the leaves long with wide leaflets. In cultivation, like all Rhopalostylis, it prefers cool climates that experience light frosts only and an abundance of moisture. It is a slow but reliable and steady grower and will, over the years, grow into a spectacular landscape palm.
