Ravenea rivularis or The Majesty Palm is a fast growing, relatively tall palm tree that can be grown outdoors in a warm climate.
It has bright green, glossy, symmetrical and feather leafed fronds, a rather messy crown and a bulging base to the trunk. It is this trunk that makes it so popular with landscapers who want to create a distinct tropical feel.
These palms can tolerate some shade throughout the day.
They can also be grown as houseplants where the height will be limited by pot dimensions or in larger pots and tubs on patios.
