Livistona australis

Australian Cabbage Palm, Gippsland Fountain Palm

These slow-growing erect fan palms have dark, shiny leaves if watered regularly. For container plants, water moderately, less in winter. While hardy to below freezing temperatures, they will enter a rest period if temperature goes below 55º F for a few days.

The leaf blades on this slender-trunked palm are divided into narrow, pointed segments. Leaf stalks are spiny. A good container plant when young. Reaches 40 to 60 feet tall and 10 to 20 feet wide.
