Recently Discovered 'Frozen Coconut' Palm - Rare! Beccariophoenix alfredii Palm - Zone 8 and up - Cold Hardy, Very Rare in cultivation! Said to be cold hardy to handle moderate freezes/frosts. Originates from the high plateaus of Madagascar where the temperatures regularly drop below freezing nightly during the winters. This palm grows to heights of about 30+ ft and is able to handle humid conditions. There is little information yet as these are so new to cultivation. The general overall appearance is that of a coconut palm until it reaches 5+ feet of trunk, so these should be a very welcomed palm for those of us who are not able to grow coconut palms due to regional temperatures and other factors. The crownshaft is yellow with reddish tints from a distance and just adds that much more color to your area. A fast growing palm that is sure to find its way into the hearts of the collectors. Because of the tolerance of freezes, these should make an excellent landscape specimen from juveniles to adulthood. These do well in a full sun position once established, but the ones you receive from here should be grown in a deep container in filtered light until they are about 2 feet tall and acclimated to full sun eventually. This is not one for the indoor environment for size and non-tolerance of too low a light. When in the juvenile stage until past the crowning from the ground they are a "fountain of feathers" throwing the pinnate fronds into the air about 8 ft like a fireworks display.
