Description

The Needle Palm (Rhapidophyllum hystrix) holds the record as the most cold-hardy palms around. It can be found in several parts of the south Atlantic state and eastern Gulf of the US, southern Alabama, and even South Carolina, grown as a specimen plant for small spaces. It favors subtropical climates or warm temperate climates. The fan or needle-like palm takes a shrub-like clumping form. It also has several stems emanating from a single base. The leaves have long petioles and many needle-like spines in between. The plant is dioecious, producing flowers in dense short clusters and fruits in a brown drupe. It prefers moist, well-drained soil.

Clumping and multi-stem palms are palm species that grow in dense clusters rather than forming a single, solitary trunk. These palms produce multiple stems or shoots from a shared root system, gradually expanding outward over time. They are native to tropical and subtropical regions.
