Howea; sentry palm

Japanese: ケンチャヤシ(英語表記)Howea; sentry palm
Howea; sentry palm
A general term for the Hawea (Kentia) genus of palms. Two species, H. belmoreana and H. forsteriana, are distributed on Lord Howe Island, east of Australia. The Japanese name Kentia palm comes from the fact that the genus Kentia was once used. Both species are monoecious and have a single trunk. Kentia palms grow to a height of 7-8m, with the base of the trunk swollen. Leaf scars remain in a circular shape on the trunk. The pinnate leaves, 3-5m long, curve gracefully. Kentia palms grow to a height of over 12m, with the base of the trunk not swollen. The pinnate leaves are about 3m long and do not droop. The leaflets are wider than those of Kentia palms. Both species are sold in pots. They should be grown in partial shade, as strong light will cause leaf burn. In winter, they should be kept indoors at a minimum temperature of 7°C.
