Hydriastele ledermanniana

Featured Replies

Acquired a few years back as H. chaunostachys, which has now been renamed H. ledermanniana. Fast grower and becoming a beautiful palm with arching leaves and grey/white elongated crown shaft. The origin of this palm came from mother plants on the Kona side of the island with seed originally collected years ago on Papua New Guinea.

I feel like everyone needs one of these. They are fast and take full sun from the start 

Absolutely stunning palm you have there nice garden.

The large Hydriastele seem under represented on here and in cultivation in general. Rarely see this one or others such as H gibbsiana. The H ledermanniana in this thread are beauties!
