The tallest palm tree in the world reaching an amazing 60m! Native to Columbia, and their national tree, this highly ornamental palm has feathery leaves topping a sturdy, single trunk. Of course, it won't reach such lofty heights in the UK, but given the right spot, could reach 3-5m. Hardy to -5C, it can be grown outdoors once established but will need wrapping in winter when young and in cold regions. Will also grow happily as an indoor plant given plenty of light.
Hardy Palm (to -5C)

GROWING GUIDE
Pre-sowing Treatment: Soak the seeds in water which starts off hand hot for 24 hours.
Sowing Instructions: Sow at any time of the year. Sow individually in small pots of moist seed compost, eg John Innes, and cover lightly. Seal pots in a polythene bag and place in the fridge for 4 weeks. After this, move to a propagator or other warm place and maintain an optimum temperature of 13-18C. Germination can be erratic but should take place in 1-3 months.
Growing Instructions: As the seedlings emerge, gradually increase ventilation by opening the propagator vents or the polythene bag. Grow the seedlings on, re-potting as necessary and protect from frost for the first couple of winters. Harden off completely before planting out in a sunny, sheltered position away from strong winds which can tear the leaves.
