Description: Monty Christmas Palm (Veitchia arecina x Adonidia merrillii) 

This is a beautiful hybrid palm that we discovered in Miami that was being grown at another nursery (pictured).  So, we decided to make them ourselves!  The name 'Monty' is short for 'Montgomery' the common name of the mother here in Florida and an ode to Veitchia montgomeryana which is synonomous with Veitchia arecina. It combines the large, stately-look of the Montgomery palm with the beautiful recurved fronds of the Christmas Palm.  The grey trunk has nice rings on it and the crownshaft is green with a slightly silver sheen. 

Sun Requirements: Full sun, partial sun, or shade

Growth Rate: Very fast.  

Fertilizer Requirement: Low

Cold Tolerance: USDA Zone 10a-11 (possibly Zone 9b in a nearly frost-free coastal microclimate; we don't have enough growing data on this new hybrid to definitively say how much cold it can handle)
