Nikau palms tree

Nikau is New Zealand’s only native palm and brings a lush, subtropical feel to any garden. These slow-growing palms form a smooth, ringed trunk topped with graceful deep-green fronds, making them perfect as a feature tree in a sheltered spot or as a statement plant in large pots while young. Hardy once established and tolerant of coastal conditions, Nikau will reward you with a classic Kiwi look in your garden for many years.
