Also known as the Eastern Cape Giant, this is a robust, tall growing species, with a trunk growing to over 15 feet tall, and deep green glossy leaves growing to 3-6 feet long. Its leaflets are held in a V-shape. It is distinguished from the other large green species in its group by its relatively straight leaves, broad, well-spaced leaflets with 1-3 prickles on each margin, and basal leaflets not reducing to spines, and the lack of woolly fuzz in the crown around newly emerging leaves. It is distributed in coastal areas of the Eastern Cape Province thru to the southern border of KwaZulu-Natal, in South Africa. It grows in exposed positions through to heavily forested areas. It does best in a moist, well drained position in full sun or part shade. It is relatively frost-tolerant.
These are seed grown plants.
