The striking Bottle Palm tree (Hyophorbe lagenicaulis) is from the Mascarene Islands, which are in the Indian Ocean just East of Madagascar. It is a very unusual palm because of the rather large bulge of the trunk. The Bottle Palm is nearly extinct in its natural habitat but is now widely commercially grown for its ornamental use. The Bottle Palm is very slow growing and adds flavor with uniqueness to any setting. The most distinguishing feature of the Bottle Palm is the bulged section of its trunk. This bulged section changes in colors throughout its life from gray, green, and even purple. The unique Bottle Palm tree grows to the maximum average height of nearly 16-20 feet tall when mature but will take many years to do so. It has Pinnate (feather shaped), arched leaves that will give any location a true feeling of the tropics. The Bottle Palm Tree enjoys full sun and does best with sandy, good draining soil. The Bottle Palm is not cold hardy and will only tolerate light frost. The Bottle Palm tree is usually the center of attention and a conversation starter in any garden or home.
