Latest Inventory Arrived
We’ve added some very healthy specimens to our ShimodaPalms.com inventory. One of our grower partners had these Howea Forsteriana (kentia, in Japanese) growing in his shadehouse, and you can see how that helped them become a rich, dark green.
Unlike the Howea’s, these Livistona Chinensis were growing outside in full sun. You can see they are a light green from the sun and dry Winter we had, but a few weeks in our gardens in Shimoda and they will darken up nicely.
I love these Rhapis Excelsa, which have grown about as tall as they will ever get. They have lovely fat leaflets and healthy stalks. In the years to come, they will continue to become fuller and more dense with green leaves.
