Ribbon Palm - Livistona decipiens - Ribbon Fan Palm


The Ribbon Palm (Livistona decipiens, Ribbon Fan Palm) native to the east coast of Queensland, Australia, is another cold hardy palm tree that can reach heights of 30-50', prefers moderate watering but can withstand some drought after it's well established. This palm will adapt to most types of soil except for wet, soggy areas. It does well in a variety of lighting from partly shade to highly sunny.

Although it is slightly less cold hardy than the Chinese Fan Palm (Livistona chinensis), doing well in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11 it can withstand temperatures down to 20 degrees f and can be a great alternative to other cold hardy palm choices due to it's insect and disease resistance.

The Ribbon Palm can also be enjoyed by people in colder areas because it does well and is easy to grow in a container indoors.
