Deeply divided leaves give this fan palm a ribbon-like
appearance. A wonderful specimen palm for small spaces.  The tree is low-maintenance and self-pruning. It does require regular fertilization and should be protected from windy areas. Fruit does sprout readily and can be a nuisance in the landscape.
