The Spindle Palm (Hyophorbe verschaffeltii) is recognized by its distinctive swollen trunk that tapers at both ends, forming a graceful spindle shape. With neatly arching fronds and moderate height, it serves as an architectural statement in gardens, courtyards, and institutional landscapes.
Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils
Ideal for tropical-themed gardens, feature islands, or solitary display planting
Grows slowly with minimal maintenance needs
Suited for small to medium landscape compositions where trunk form adds visual rhythm
Resilient to coastal conditions and wind exposure
