Arenga engleri
Dwarf Sugar Palm

This dwarf palm is a very pretty, small, clustering, very tropical-looking palm from Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands with long, narrow leaflets that have silver backs. A wonderful palm for the sheltered garden in temperate climates, it will tolerate quite deep shade and, once established, several degrees of frost. Also useful in all warmer climates where its brightly colored fruits add to its charm.
