Panicles of small yellow flowers appear on mature palms in the summer and mature into inedible red seeds. It is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.

Give it two or three liquid feeds in the growing season and mist the leaves regularly. Protect from draughts.
