ROSCHERIA
LPG Area:
Distribution:
Monotypic, confined to Mahe & Silhouette Islands in the Seychelles
   
Growing Comments:
This is the smallest of the palms from the Seychelles and reportedly it does have a little bit more cold tolerance than the other endemic palms from the Seychelles. It's a very steady grower and will produce fruit at an early age. Growth rate about 4.0 on a 1-10 scale.
