Rhapidophyllum hystrix ~ Needle Palm Size:7 GALLON wavy burgundy to black lobedNeedle Palm is a dense, near trunkless native evergreen palm treated as a shrub. Its narrow and stiff green foliage is deeply divided and arranged like a fan. The inconspicuous summer flowers are usually by the foliage and are followed by fruits that ripen in fall. Grows best with full sun in rich and moist well drained soils. Drought tolerant once established. Warning: There are sharp 6in black needle like spines at the base of the plant. Syn. with
