Bottle PalmHyophorbe lagenicaulisThe Bottle palm is interesting in that its trunk has a smooth gray surface and a shape that makes it look like an arrangement of palm fronds in a vase. At least that's what it looks like to me.
They are grown on the coast of southern CA, but suffer inland. H. lagenicaulis is common in Hawaii and the tropics. If you live in a colder area, you'll be happy to know that this palm can be grown in a pot. It's a slow grower.
