Areca catechu var. alba

Yellow Crownshaft Betel Nut Palm

A tropical solitary palm that typically grows up to 20 feet tall. It features a slender trunk and feather-type fronds that appear in groups of around 10, forming an attractive crownshaft. This particular variety is distinguished by its light yellow-colored crownshaft, and golden yellow seeds, giving the palm an overall warm, golden appearance. The crown can reach up to 8 feet in diameter, with the leaf rachis elegantly curling downward. Compared to the standard species, this palm is more sensitive to direct sunlight. It thrives best in tropical environments with well-drained, fertile soil and consistent moisture for optimal growth.
