The nīkau palm is the southernmost member of the palm family, a group typically found in tropical or subtropical regions. There are over 1,100 palm species around the world, including some of the most useful plants such as the oil palm, banana, coconut, and sago palm. While several palm species have been introduced to New Zealand and are planted in our towns and gardens, the nīkau palm is the only native palm species.
