Clinostigma are doubtlessly some of the world's most graceful palms, and C. harlandii from cloud forests at 1000 m (3300 ft) on Vanuatu in the Southwest Pacific is no exception. It grows a tall, slender, smooth, waxy trunk, supported by a cone of stilt roots, and topped by a long, dark green, waxy crownshaft and an elegant crown of feathery, arching leaves. It is an aggressively fast grower, does well in the humid tropical or subtropical garden, and is one of the few in the genus that will tolerate cooler temperatures (but no frost). (RPS.com). On Ambrym Island the local people eat this species. The 'heart' (immature leaves within the bulbous area at top of trunk) is eaten. It is quite sweet and tastes a bit like a cross between French beans and asparagus. Unfortunately the extraction of the 'heart' kills the tree.

Comments and Curiosities

Clinostigma are doubtlessly some of the world's most graceful palms, and C. harlandii from cloud forests at 1000 m (3300 ft) on Vanuatu in the Southwest Pacific is no exception. It grows a tall, slender, smooth, waxy trunk, supported by a cone of stilt roots, and topped by a long, dark green, waxy crownshaft and an elegant crown of feathery, arching leaves. It is an aggressively fast grower, does well in the humid tropical or subtropical garden, and is one of the few in the genus that will tolerate cooler temperatures (but no frost). (RPS.com). On Ambrym Island the local people eat this species. The 'heart' (immature leaves within the bulbous area at top of trunk) is eaten. It is quite sweet and tastes a bit like a cross between French beans and asparagus. Unfortunately the extraction of the 'heart' kills the tree.
