A Chatham Island form of the iconic New Zealand native nikau. It produces fantastic shuttlecock like fronds that arch gracefully from a central crown and give the garden a lush tropical look all year round. Red berries attract the birds. Ideal in a container or a sheltered spot in the garden in semi-shade.

Provide plenty of moisture through hot dry months. It takes approximately 15 to 20 years to start trunking, so it makes a long term feature that rewards patience. Protect from frost. Evergreen.
