Livistona chinensis

Bring an air of sophisticated tropical elegance to your garden with the Livistona chinensis. Known for its iconic "weeping" foliage, this palm produces large, lime-green fan fronds that divide into slender, drooping ribbons at the tips. It creates a lush, fountain-like effect that is hard to match with more common hardy palms.
