An iconic native is known for its upright 'shuttlecock’ exotic appearance, making it perfect for tropical gardens. Nikau are best planted in well-drained sites and clustered in groups. In the first three years, use frost protection as they are sensitive to cold. If in a high wind zone, place a windbreak barrier while your nikau get established. Plant in part shade. Suitable for North Island only.
