A cult item among palm collectors, it is an unusual palm with zebra-striped, bottle-shaped trunks. It is native to the coastal dry SW of the Dominican Republic, where it grows on soilless, heavily eroded limestone coral rock, with a spiny scrub vegetation, with cacti and plumerias. Pseudophoenix ekmanii is a robust solitary palm with swollen pale gray trunks, often waxy white, with darker rings. Feather leaves are arched and plumose, green-glaucous, stiff, held on a crownshaft. Seeds are difficult to germinate and plants are very slow growing. P. ekmanii does best in the dry tropics and will look great even under rough conditions, including full coastal exposure, poor soil and drought. The small plants offered by Canarius are older than one may think. Grow them in sandy-rocky soil and keep above 10 |
