Hyophorbe Lagenicaulis 'Bottle Palm'

These Hyophorbe Lagenicaulis 'Bottle Palm', is a tropical palm suitable for a smaller landscape, or as a large interior potted plant. The Bottle Palm's grossly enlarged base, its neat - tapering crown shaft and canopy, and its slow growth, have made it a most desirable palm for both landscape and interior displays. A dainty, neat palm, growing only to 12 feet, with a bottle-shape trunk which is widest at the base, tapering upwards to the neck
The amazing swollen trunk is the eye catcher on this palm, but it also has other interesting characteristics that come and go as the palm matures from a seedling to a mature specimen.

As the palm ages, it starts to elongate more , the trunks swells, giving it the bottle shape. During this whole period, the canopy gets larger with each successive growth until the leaves are 9 to 12 feet in length. Because this is a slow grower, it can take years for it to reach its mature height.
