Rhapidophyllum hystrix
Y01-02 — Zone 7 to 9— southeast USA
The most cold-hardy! Needle palms are hardy to 10 degrees below zero. In the south they can reach 6' wide and 6' high in 10 years, making a dramatic statement in the shade garden. Highly adaptive, we have seen specimens in San Antonio growing in the shade of oaks in dry, rocky, alkaline clay, as well as plants thriving in protected areas of North Carolina, in rich acid soils.

Notes and observations about this plant
- Sun exposure makes a difference by Rocky Grindstaff
- I have several of these. Some are in full sun and some in morning sun only. The ones that only get morning sun look much healthier and have a faster growth rate. The ones in full sun look a little rough. Almost every day this summer has been above 100 degrees though. I can also say the same for my Sabal Minors. sun exposure makes a difference (Posted on 9/1/11)
- Love this palm by Chad Callahan
-
Love this palm, it sits out in the open, full sun all summer. Endures a foot of snow ever winter. Never recieves any protection and never has any frond damage.
