Attalea maripa

An impressive and tall-growing (up to 60 feet/20m) feather leaved palm, widespread in the northern half of South America and, like so many others in the genus, perfect for the large park or garden where its size can be seen to advantage. Its huge leaves are held erect and it has the general appearance of a shuttlecock. As a young plant it is also useful as a conservatory subject. Adaptable, but warm dry subtropics or tropics would suit it best.
