It is a fast-growing variety that establishes without fuss and looks the part even as a young plant, so you do not have to wait years for real presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, tropical-looking fans in a soft grey-green are split to around half their depth into many slender segments, crowning a sturdy trunk that is neatly ringed with the scars of old leaves. Between the leaflets hang curly, thread-like filaments, and it is these fine threads that earn it the common name of Cotton Palm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also notably salt tolerant, which makes it a superb choice for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/coastal-plants\"\u003ecoastal gardens\u003c\/a\u003e and breezy, exposed spots.
