Livistona rotundifolia
Footstool Palm
Distribution & Habitat:
Livistona rotundifolia grows in the tropical, mountainous rainforests of Malaysia and Indonesia. It can also be found on the Moluccas and many Philippine islands.
Culture:
Livistona rotundifolia requires a shady, sheltered position when young but is quite happy in full sun when more mature and the humidity is very high.
Description:
A very attractive Livistona when young, with its large, round, shiny, shallowly divided leaves. As the palm matures it becomes even more imposing and the leaves become more divided. The upper part of the trunk will then be clothed with beautifully woven fibers.
In its natural habitat this plam can grow to over 20 metres tall but in a garden situation it will not grow that tall. The leaves in juvenile palms are about 1.5 metres wide and circular, while they are smaller in older palms and do not form a full circle.
Climate Zones:
Although the Footstool Palm is from the tropics it has successfully been grown in sub-tropical and even warm temperate areas.
