This is the red sealing wax palm, Cyrtostachys renda, originally from Malaysia and increasingly popular in Hawaii.

The bright red crownshaft gives the palm a very distinctive look.

New Plants for Himalayan Acres

Some news from our nursery department with recent plant acquisitions and improvements. These new plants will be planted in the ground shortly and allowed to grow into large clumps for sale.

And on the practical side, we created a prototype of a nursery bench to solve two problems: both metal and wood benches rot out in a few years in Hawaii, and we have 1,500 feet of used 4" PVC pipe with no other use.... Having the pots up on the benches is both better for the plant and easier on the gardener who doesn't have to stoop to care for them.
