Areca concinna
A fast growing, clustering palm native to southwestern Sri Lanka that has slim, ringed, green trunks, lush, dark green leaves, and scented flowers followed by smallish, bright red fruits. It is readily grown in the tropical or frost free warm temperate garden. Seeds germinate readily and plants are easy and fast growing, surprisingly robust, and have a very tropical appearance. Areca concinna is similar to and often confused with Areca triandra in cultivation.
