The
highly ornamental Lipstick Palm (Cyrtostachys renda)
is a strikingly beautiful tropical specimen.
The
unrivalled scarlet coloured crownshafts and petioles
contrast dramatically with its verdant foliage.
It is
an outstanding landscaping feature plant though unfortunately
it is strictly a tropical species.

5 and 6 metre beauties.
