This slow growing, pretty rare variety has large, bushy fern fronds on a stout fibrous black trunk, eventually reaching to a height in the region of 3m/9.8ft. It is ideal in tubs and pots in a good peaty compost, and adds a lovely exotic flavour to the garden. It should be planted in a cool, sheltered, shady position in moist peat-soil. An excellent tree for a water-side or woodland site, it should be able to withstand temperatures as low as -5oC. Be sure to water freely, especially during warm weather.
Our Squarrosas in 15ltr pots are for sale in our online shop. They have up to 5inches of trunk and 2-2.5 ft of foliage.
