Paurotis Palm (Large) (Acoelorrhaphe wrightii)
Paurotis Palm (Large) (Acoelorrhaphe wrightii)
The Paurotis Palm (Large), scientifically Acoelorraphe wrightii, presents a tall single-stem expression of this fan-leafed species, highlighting its clean trunk and wide, radiating crown. The solitary trunk rises with smooth, narrow proportions, supporting a canopy of broad, circular fans divided into numerous stiff segments. Each fan sits atop a long petiole that gives the canopy a lifted, airy quality, allowing light to filter between the rigid blades.
Though naturally a clustering species, Acoelorraphe wrightii often produces visually independent stems within a colony, and this large single form reflects that individual presence. Native to swampy regions, it maintains a strong, resilient posture even as a standalone palm. The large expression reveals a stately fan palm profile—upright, bright, and distinctly geometric.
The Paurotis Palm (Large) has a cultivated height between 10’-20’ (3.05-6.1 m), spread diameter of 7’-12’ (2.13-2.44 m), and leaf lengths between 1’6”-3’ (46-91 cm). In the wild, the Paurotis Palm (Large) has an overall height between 15’-25’ (4.57-7.62 m).
