Adonidia merrillii
Christmas Palm

Adonidia merrillii 10 seeds one packet Rs.2000

If you have seen those tall and elegant crown shaft palms in shopping malls, they are likely to be Adonidia merrillii. They are chosen because of their ability to put up with less than perfect conditions such as over- and underwatering, and dry air. Outside in the tropical or subtropical garden they are splendid also, producing bunches of large, bright red fruit in December, hence the common name. They are easy to germinate and fast growing and their popularity is richly deserved.
