'''''Caryota monostachya''''' is a very rare palm in cultivation, but a few have found there way to California gardens. It is a suckering species that barely grows to 10' tall. It is one of the few Caryotas than can live its entire life fairly easily in a pot. Little is known about its cold tolerance, but so far it does not seem to be that hard to keep alive. Some plants tend to flower early (not unusual for Caryotas) and not even grow taller than 5 feet.
