Caryota gigas
Arecaceae
Jason Dewees, San Francisco

An enormous fishtail palm (to 125 feet high) newly
introduced from mountains around Chiang Mai, Thailand, tolerant of some frost and sun but requiring regular moisture and a bit of summer heat to grow well. Probably best suited to Sunset zones 16 and 15 in our area.
