Lipstick Palm
Cyrtostachys renda is probably the most ornamental of palms. The
Lipstick Palm as it is known grows in a small clump to about 6m in
cultivation. The leaves of the fronds are a dark green with the petioles
and crownshaft being a bright scarlet. It grows in a clumping form and
spreads to about 2.5m. Small green flowers appear and are followed by
black fruits about 2cm long. This is one of the most colourful looking
palms you can find and will look great in any garden. It is slow growing
and well worth the investment to buy a larger size plant.
