Wallichia densiflora Arecaceae Jason Dewees, San Francisco A pinnate clustering palm from the foothills of the Himalaya in Assam, India, this species grows as high as 1600 meters above sea level and tolerates some frost. A new introduction to the Bay Area, it may require a bit of heat to grow well, but is certainly worth testing in Sunset zones 17-14 in reasonably well-drained soils with regular water and bright shade or dappled sun.
