Kentia Palm (Potted, Large) (Howea forsteriana)
Kentia Palm (Potted, Large) (Howea forsteriana)
The Kentia Palm (Potted, Large), scientifically Howea forsteriana, is an elegant feather palm with long, arching fronds emerging from a tall, slender trunk. In its large potted form, the palm develops a spacious crown with well-spaced fronds that rise and fall in gentle arcs, creating an airy, refined silhouette. Native to Lord Howe Island, Howea forsteriana evolved to thrive in filtered light and sheltered forest environments, giving it a naturally graceful bearing.
As a mature potted specimen, it conveys classic tropical form: upright posture, plume-like fronds, and a smooth, ringed trunk. The spacious crown and balanced proportions make this large expression a favored architectural interior palm, valued for its height and composure without overwhelming a space. Its lightweight visual character and steady growth further enhance its suitability for potted landscapes.
The Kentia Palm (Potted, Large) has a cultivated height between 5’-10’ (1.52-3.05 m), spread diameter of 3’-6’ (91-183 cm), and leaf lengths between 3’-5’ (91-152 cm). In the wild, the Kentia Palm (Potted, Large) has an overall height between 6’-30’ (1.83-9.14 m).
