Moist position in the full sun. Growth rate: slow. Sunlight: full sun. Water: moderate. Cold Tolerance: 20° F.
Notice the difference between leaf configuration, in the partial shade grown Hawaiian specimen, and the full sun grown specimens, edric.

There are two sub-species, Copernicia glabrescens var. glabrescens, and Copernicia glabrescens var. ramosissima.
Native to the savannas of western Cuba, this medium-sized palm is generally similar to the well-known C. hospita.
