Nannorrhops ritchiana

Nannorrhops ritchiana, common name Mazari palm, grows to a height of 1700 metres and is covered in snow for long periods at a time.
It is an extraordinarily rustic palm with trunks growing underground and/or horizontally branching out into several, which is especially rare in palms). It dies after producing fruit (monocarpic palm).
It prefers sunny sites and adapts to all kinds of soil, even very poor ones.
It grows at an average rate if it gets plenty of water over the spring-summer period.
It can withstand strong dry winds as well as salinity.
It is difficult to transplant.

The palm can tolerate temperatures down to -26 °C, but minimums of -10 to -15 are no problem. But that does not alter the fact that he needs a high summer heat to be able to settle over a long period.
