Manila Palm (Medium) (Adonidia merrillii)
Manila Palm (Medium) (Adonidia merrillii)
The Manila Palm (Medium) shows Adonidia merrillii at a refined intermediate stage, where the trunk has begun to lengthen but remains slender and well-proportioned. Its feather-like fronds radiate from a compact crownshaft, forming a neat arrangement that emphasizes symmetry and lightness. The leaflets of Adonidia merrillii appear fine and evenly aligned, giving the canopy a smooth, rhythmic texture.
The species evolved on Philippine islands, where moderate height and efficient leaf structure allowed it to thrive in open, sunlit conditions. The medium version expresses the species’ graceful posture without the scale of a mature specimen, making it versatile in designed landscapes or potted architectural settings. Its balanced trunk-to-crown ratio and feathered canopy create a composed silhouette that remains visually striking while being adaptable to tighter spaces.
The Manila Palm (Medium) has a cultivated height between 12’-20’ (3.66-6.1 m), spread diameter of 6’-10’ (1.83-3.05 m), and leaf lengths between 4’-6’ (1.22-1.83 m). In the wild, the Manila Palm (Medium) has an overall height between 15’-50’ (4.57-15.24 m).
