Description
It grows a slender, smooth trunk no more than with a maximum height of .

Adult palms are graceful due to the nature of the crown and the rather thin trunk. ==Horticulture==
Horticulture
This palm is rare in cultivation. However, because it will grow to some elevation and tolerate drier conditions, it is expected to thrive in subtropical climates and favorable warm temperate climates, tolerating an occasional light frost. It is tolerant of limerock and coastal exposure. ==References==
